This brief details changes in insurance coverage and access to care under the Affordable Care Act. About 20 million individuals gained coverage under the law and access to care improved. Despite these gains, more than 27 million individuals are still uninsured, and many others face barriers in accessing care. As a result of the 2016 elections, the future of the ACA is uncertain. As the next Administration and policymakers debate further health system reforms, they should consider the scope of the ACA’s effects on their constituents.
本简报详细介绍了《平价医疗法案》下保险覆盖范围和医疗服务可及性的变化。约2000万人通过该法律获得了保险，医疗服务可及性得到改善。尽管有这些成果，但仍有超过2700万人没有保险，其他许多人在获得医疗服务方面也面临障碍。由于2016年的选举，《平价医疗法案》的未来尚不确定。当下一届政府和政策制定者辩论进一步的医疗体系改革时，他们应考虑《平价医疗法案》对其选民的影响范围。
