Answer 1

A health policy that impacts wide segments of United States citizens includes the ACA (Affordable care act). This policy provides access to healthcare to the uninsured economically weaker sections of the population in the USA by providing them insurance through Medicare and Medicaid. The current discussions on the policy include the discussions to have more reforms in this policy so that more people get insurance coverage through the expansion of Medicare and Medicaid in all the states of the USA. Since this policy provides equity in terms of access to healthcare it is an important policy. We can refer to the website of ANA to get details regarding this policy.
