Future Forum | Apr, 8 2025 6:30PM - 8:30PM

In March 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) into law, making sweeping changes to the US healthcare system. As many as 45 million people had obtained health coverage through both the marketplace and Medicaid expansion since then.
The LBJ Future Forum took an honest and critical look 15 years later, exploring the impact the ACA had had on people, both providers and patients, and the healthcare system as a whole.
