Under the Affordable Care Act, all U.S. citizens are required to have healthcare coverage. If Jane, is age 78, does she need to purchase insurance under the ACA

Answer 1

Under the Affordable Care Act, all U.S. citizens are required to have healthcare coverage.

Jane being 78 is eligible for Medicare, so she will not have to purchase insurance under the ACA

What is ACA and its objectives?

The comprehensive health care reform bill passed in March 2010 is known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (often known as the Affordable Care Act or "ACA" for short).

Three main objectives of the legislation are:

• Make more individuals eligible for affordable health insurance. For households earning between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty threshold, the bill offers subsidies to customers in the form of "premium tax credits" that reduce expenses (FPL).

• To include all people with incomes below 138 percent of the FPL, the Medicaid program should be expanded. Not all states have made Medicaid program expansions.

• Encourage cutting-edge medical care delivery strategies intended to reduce overall health care expenditures.

Therefore, Jane is eligible for Medicare, so she will not have to purchase insurance under the ACA.
