Are You Ready For Affordable Care Act (ACA)?
Affordable Care Act (ACA) or colloquially Obamacare, is a United States federal statute signed into law by President Barack Obama

Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting is the single largest expansion of tax information reporting since the W-2. The ACA has three main objectives:
- Everyone is required to have health care coverage
- Those with pre-existing conditions cannot be turned down for coverage.
- Those who cannot afford coverage will receive government-funded financial assistance (tax credits) to pay for their health insurance.
