President Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law on March 23, 2010, and a recent editorial in the Wall Street Journal examined the law’s impact after six years.
Drew Altman, president and CEO of the Kaiser Family Foundation, wrote the editorial, calling the ACA “the most important legislation in health care since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid.”
“The Affordable Care Act generates so much partisan heat and draws so much media attention that many people may have lost perspective on where this law fits in the overall health system,” Altman wrote.
