what's this?

After decades of failed attempts by a string of Democratic presidents and a year of bitter partisan combat, President Obama signed legislation on March 23, 2010 to overhaul the nations health care system and guarantee access to medical insurance for tens of millions of Americans. The health care law seeks to extend insurance to more than 30 million people, primarily by expanding Medicaid and providing federal subsidies to help lower- and middle-income Americans buy private coverage. It will create insurance exchanges for those buying individual policies and prohibit insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions. To reduce the soaring cost of Medicare, it creates a panel of experts to limit government reimbursement to only those treatments shown to be effective, and creates incentives for providers bundle' services rather than charge by individual procedure. The law will cost the government about $938 billion over 10 years, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which has also estimated that it will reduce the federal deficit by $138 billion over a decade. It was the largest single legislative achievement of Mr. Obamas first two years in office, and the most controversial. Not a single Republican voted for the final version, and Republicans across the country campaigned on a promise to repeal the bill. In January 2011, shortly after they took control of the House, Republicans voted 245 to 189 in favor of repeal, in what both sides agreed was largely a symbolic act, given Democratic control of the Senate and White House. A Major Setback Since the new health care law was signed, it has been under attack in court, in Congress and in many state legislatures. In October 2011, it suffered another setback when the Obama administration announced that it was scrapping a long-term care insurance program created by the new law because it was too costly and would not work. The program, known as Community Living Assistance Services and Supports, or Class, was intended for people with chronic illnesses or severe disabilities who wanted to live in the community, though benefits could also have been used to help pay for nursing home care or assisted living.
