What is the name of the law expanding Medicaid, requiring employer health insurance, and prohibiting pre-existing condition denial, commonly known as Obamacare?

• A. Health Reform Act
• B. Patient Protection Act
• C. Affordable Care Act
• D. Medical Coverage Act

Answer: (C)

The main idea is recognizing the health reform law enacted in 2010 that broadened Medicaid, required many employers to offer insurance, and protected people with pre-existing conditions. This law is the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Its formal title is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, but in everyday use it’s spoken of as the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare. The measures you mentioned—expanding Medicaid eligibility, the employer mandate, and prohibiting denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions—are central features that define this reform and distinguish it from other proposed or informal names. The other options aren’t the official or widely used title for this law.
