What's so special about Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act?In this new, compelling book from author Wilma Quinn, find out more about Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act ...The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, informally referred to as Obamacare, is a United States federal statute signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. The law is the principal health care reform legislation of the 111th United States Congress. PPACA requires individuals not covered by employer- or government-sponsored insurance plans to maintain minimal essential health insurance coverage or pay a penalty unless exempted for religious beliefs or financial hardship, a provision commonly referred to as the "individual mandate". The Act also reforms certain aspects of the private health insurance industry and public health insurance programs, increases insurance coverage of pre-existing conditions, expands access to insurance to 30??million Americans, and increases projected national medical spending while lowering projected Medicare spending.PPACA passed the Senate on December 24, 2009, by a vote of 60???39 with all Democrats and two Independents voting for, and all Republicans voting against. It passed the House of Representatives on March 21, 2010, by a vote of 219???212, with 34 Democrats and all 178 Republicans voting against the bill.A majority of the states, and numerous organizations and individual persons, have filed actions in federal court challenging the constitutionality of some or all of the elements of PPACA. As of January 2012, two of four federal appellate courts have upheld it; a third declared the individual mandate unconstitutional, while a fourth ruled the federal Anti-Injunction Act prevents the issue from being decided until taxpayers begin paying penalties in 2015. The Supreme Court heard six hours of oral argument on March 26???28, 2012, and is expected to issue its decision by the end of June.So, what seperates this book from the rest?A comprehensive narrative of Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act, this book gives a full understanding of the subject.A brief guide of subject areas covered in "111th United States Congress - Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act" include -- Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act- Health care reform in the United States- Health care reform debate in the United States- Health care reforms proposed during the Obama administration- United States public debt- Contraceptive mandates- Florida v.
