Obama signed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) into law on Mar. 23, 2010. It is 2,700 pages long, authorizes tens of thousands of pages worth of regulations that carry the force of law (with countless more coming), and effectuates a massive overhaul of one sixth of the U.S. economy. Its twin goals--as found in Section 1501 of the statute--are to ensure “near-universal” healthcare coverage and to lower costs. The president has repeatedly claimed it would reduce average family costs by $2,500 per year.
