- Abstract
- This paper analyzes the expansion of Medicaid through the Affordable Care Act. The impact that this expansion has had is reviewed, further examining its effect on varying populations, strengths, and weaknesses. It also assesses how well the policy addresses equality and equity by looking at its level of coverage among varying populations. This assessment explores a flaw in the policy’s implementation: the coverage gap, which leaves many Americans without access to affordable health insurance. Furthermore, alternative solutions that address any weaknesses are considered and further reviewed such as universal healthcare and premium tax credits. These solutions take into account where the current policy may be lacking, and recommendations are put forth.
