Law passed in 2010 to expand access to insurance, address cost reduction and affordability, improve the quality of healthcare, and introduce the Patient's Bill of Rights

• A. Affordable Care Act
• B. Health Insurance
• C. Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)
• D. Preffered Provider Organization (PPO)

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is recognizing the 2010 law aimed at broad health coverage, bringing down costs, improving quality, and protecting patients. That law is the Affordable Care Act. It created pathways to expand insurance access (like insurance marketplaces and Medicaid expansion), set requirements that many plans cover essential benefits, and put protections in place for consumers—often referred to as the Patient's Bill of Rights. These protections include things like prohibiting denial of coverage for preexisting conditions and letting young adults stay on their parents’ plans until age 26, along with other consumer protections intended to improve quality and affordability. The other options describe types of health plans or arrangements rather than a nationwide reform Law. An HMO and a PPO are two kinds of managed care organizations or network structures, not a landmark 2010 reform. “Health Insurance” is a general term for coverage, not a specific law.
