Explanation:

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (known informally as Obamacare) is a United States federal law, signed March 23, 2010 by President Barack Obama, which aims to reform health insurance in the United States by reducing the cost of medical care and making insurance policies cheaper.

The main problem of the insurance system for the introduction of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was the missing obligation to take out health insurance. As a result, 27 million Americans were still uninsured for health insurance in 2016.  

This act includes the obligation for every American to take out health insurance and an unconditional acceptance obligation for health insurers.
