Affordable Care Act (ACA) Healthcare issues have always been at the center stage of politics in the United States. They include healthcare insurance, Medicare and Medicaid Services, premium cost, healthcare reforms, and healthcare access to underserved and vulnerable populations. Interests in universal healthcare insurance came up in political spheres before the mid-19thcentury, but none of the proposed plans came into effect. It was during Harry S. Truman’s presidency that Congress presented the most notable proposal on universal coverage and its implementation. It was not until the passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also referred to as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or “Obamacare” in 2010 by President Obama that a significant step was made to achieving universal healthcare insurance.

Immigrants have significant effects on a state; for example, the increase in labor means that the real wage rates will decline due to the excess supply of labor compared to the scarce demand for labor. Expanding eligibility requirements for the tuition program means that more immigrants will be able to access higher education, thus increasing their competency in the job market. The US, however, consists mostly of immigrants considering they had an open border in the past, improving the welfare of the source country and destination country. The increase in welfare is a…
