What is ObamaCare?

ObamaCare is the extra official name for The Patient Health Protection and Care Act, a health reform law declared on March 23, 2010, by Barack Obama. This law allowed those people who previously did not have access to health insurance to have the opportunity to obtain it.

It is the only patient protection and health care law that currently exists in the United States. It is the only way through which you can get your medical coverage for a full year, that is, between November 1 and December 15, and you will have coverage from January 1 of the following year until December 31.
