— Cost control, enrollment increases still needed, say experts
WASHINGTON — As the nation battles COVID-19, the health policy world is quietly observing a milestone: the 10th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
As he was signing the bill into law on March 23, 2010, then-President Obama said, “The bill I’m signing will set in motion reforms that generations of Americans have fought for and marched for and hungered to see.” He listed some of the bill’s provisions, including a ban on insurer discrimination against enrollees with preexisting conditions, a mandate to cover children up to age 26 on their parents’ policies, and a requirement that all health insurance policies cover 10 categories of “essential health benefits.”
