Abstract
Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), an estimated 20 million Americans have gained health insurance, and the country’s uninsured rate has dropped from 16% to 9% since 2010.1 In the upcoming presidential election, the ACA’s future is again at stake. Understanding how the law has achieved these coverage changes is critical to evaluating its progress.
