Obamacare is the colloquial name given to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) signed into law by President Obama in the USA, which ultimately aims to provide universal access to health care services for US citizens. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the political-legal, economic, social, management (or administrative), and medical (or health) repercussions of this law, using a bibliometric methodology as a basis. In addition, the main contributors to research on ACA issues have been identified in terms of authors, organizations, journals, and countries. The downward trend in scientific production on this law has been noted, and it has been concluded that a balance has not yet been reached between the coexistence of private and public health care that guarantees broad social coverage without economic or other types of barriers. The law requires political consensus to be implemented in a definitive and global manner for the whole of the United States.
奥巴马医改是人们对美国总统奥巴马签署的《平价医疗法案》的俗称，该法案最终旨在为美国公民提供全民医疗服务。本文旨在采用文献计量学方法，概述该法律在政治-法律、经济、社会、管理（或行政）和医疗（或健康）方面的影响。此外，还根据作者、组织、期刊和国家等因素，确定了研究《平价医疗法案》问题的主要贡献者。该法律的科学研究呈下降趋势，结论是，在保证广泛的社会覆盖面而不存在经济或其他类型障碍的前提下，公私医疗共存之间的平衡尚未实现。该法律需要政治共识，以全面和全面的方式在美国各地实施。
