Which act is commonly referred to by the acronym PPACA?

• A. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
• B. Public Participation and Accountability Act
• C. Personal Pension and Credit Act
• D. Patient Protection and Access Act

Answer: (A)

PPACA stands for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The initials come directly from the words in that title: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This 2010 law is well known for expanding health insurance access, prohibiting denial based on pre‑existing conditions, creating insurance marketplaces with subsidies, and broadening Medicaid. The other phrases don’t match the letters of PPACA and aren’t the commonly used name for this legislation, which is also popularly called Obamacare.
