What overarching goal does Obamacare aim to achieve?

The overarching goal of Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is to insure a significant number of uninsured individuals. This legislation was designed to expand access to health insurance, particularly for those who were previously unable to obtain coverage due to cost or pre-existing conditions. By implementing measures such as the expansion of Medicaid eligibility, the establishment of health insurance marketplaces, and subsidies to make insurance more affordable, the ACA has significantly reduced the number of uninsured Americans.

This focus on increasing coverage aligns with the broader aim of improving health outcomes and reducing the financial burden of healthcare on individuals and families. By making health insurance more accessible, the ACA seeks to enhance the overall health of the population, reduce out-of-pocket expenses for healthcare services, and promote preventive care.
