Answer 1

Answer: D. was partially repealed in 2013 in order to avert a government shutdown

Explanation: All options except D. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, is a United States federal statute enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. It represents the U.S. healthcare system's most significant regulatory overhaul and expansion of coverage since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965.

Before and after enactment, PPACA faced strong political opposition, calls for repeal as well as legal challenges. The House of Representatives, led by the Republicans who were against the bill, repeatedly voted to repeal PPACA, but the Senators did not pass the bill and it was never repealed.
