What are the basic economic features of the ACA, and how do basic economic principles
shape healthcare services and delivery?

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), which President-elect Donald Trump and the
Republican-controlled Congress have promised to nullification, was made to conquer two
fundamental issues in the arrangement of healthcare in the United States. Initially, the expenses
are unfathomably skewed, with only 10% of patients representing nearly 66% of the country's
healthcare spending (Schoen). The other issue is uneven data: Patients have significantly more
information about the condition of their health than backup plans do. This implies the general
population with the biggest expenses are the ones well on the way to agreeing to accept
insurance. These two issues make it difficult to get to all general scope under a market-based
framework.
The issue with the skewing of health care expenses is that while many people's health
spending is constrained, it stays exceptionally costly to give care to the most expensive 10%. The
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services extends that per capita expenditure on health in the
