In 2010, President Barrack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). President Joe Biden in 2021 brought about new changes to the PPACA to broaden and increase coverage for all Americans. Executive orders signed by President Biden focused specifically on reforming Medicaid and expanding the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
