About the ACA
The Affordable Care Act is a health reform law enacted in March 2010. It describes the minimum coverage provision and who it affects.
Minimum coverage provision
Most people are not affected by the minimum coverage provision because they already have coverage or are exempt. A March 2012 analysis looked at how many people would need to buy insurance or pay a fine.
Exemptions and coverage
Nearly 160 million people already have coverage, and another 90 million would be exempt from the requirement. Only 26 million people are both uninsured and not exempt.
