You've heard of ObamaCare, but what is ObamaCare exactly? ObamaCare (AKA The Affordable Care Act) is a US law aimed at reforming the American health care system. ObamaCare's main focus is on providing more Americans with access to affordable health insurance, improving the quality of health care and health insurance, regulating the health insurance industry, and reducing health care spending in the US.

There are other issues as well, such as whether the required expansion of Medicaid in every state is overly coercive and if Congress can regulate inactivity, which is an individual’s decision not to buy insurance. But these are relatively esoteric legal points compared to the mandate.
