Featured project: Effect of the Affordable Care Act by state

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, was signed into law in 2010 by President Barack Obama (D). Since its passage, the impact of the ACA has been debated among politicians, policymakers, and other stakeholders. The law facilitates health coverage through a system of health insurance exchanges, tax credits, subsidies, and Medicaid expansion.
