Explore many of the critical components of the United States healthcare system and elements that can be improved with appropriate healthcare policy. One of the most important pieces of legislation impacting healthcare is the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which “provides Medicaid coverage to many low-income individuals in states that expand and Marketplace subsidies for individuals below 400% of the poverty line” (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2014, para. 1). But, while the ACA has reduced the number of uninsured Americans, there are still millions without coverage. The question is why and what can be done to address the underlying issues.
Please review the following resources and using specific information, address the tasks posed below:
Summarize the population (number, demographics, etc.) of uninsured people in the U.S.
Discuss some of the reasons for and possible financial consequences of not having health insurance.
Discuss the socioeconomic consequences of having a large uninsured population in the U.S.
Describe the changes that will occur to assist the uninsured population with the Patient Protection and ACA.
Present your response in a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document formatted in APA style.
On a separate page, cite all sources using APA format.
