The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, is a federal statute signed into law by President Barack Obama on 2010.

The individual mandate contained in the Act requires all individuals to buy insurance or pay a penalty if not covered by an employer sponsored health plan, Medicaid, Medicare or other insurance programs. The mandate was designed to avoid healthy people delaying insurance until they were sick. This in turn causes premiums to rise, motivating even more people to drop their coverage.

The individual mandate was repealed starting in 2019 via the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

"choosing is refusing" means individuals face an opportunity cost with each decision they make. economists state that every decision involves trade-offs. opportunity cost is the least desirable alternative given up as a result of a decision.
