The affordable care act since its inception has received quite a good share of praise as well as critics. It has been the most controversial political issue dividing the country across the ideological lines. Liberal are for it while the conservatives never want to hear a thing about it. Generally, the ACA was enacted with the aim of providing an affordable health insurance and to make it available to more people. It created a state-run insurance exchange program from which patients who do not receive insurance covers from their employers they can research and apply for an insurance plan. They also provide consumers with subsidies aimed at lowering the cost of households in the United States.
