n 2010, the U.S. Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare. The Act introduced several sweeping changes to the U.S. healthcare system, imposing health insurance requirements on most employers, limiting the ability of insurance companies to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions, and establishing health care exchanges where individuals without employer-provided insurance could purchase health insurance at discounted rates.
