  • Description: The law-the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)-expands access to medical care and health insurance to more than 30 million low- and middle-income Americans; imposes much of the cost on affluent individuals and businesses; terminates longstanding practices by parts of the private insurance industry that victimized millions of sick Americans even after they'd paid premiums for decades; elevates health and prevention as a priority; and launches the most comprehensive set of initia tives and experiments to date to restrain both government and private-sector expenditures on medical care and claw back inefficient spending to help pay for widening access. Starr acknowledges the missteps by the Clintons but assigns the balance of culpability to the "center fail[ing]"-the "deals that were never closed . . . compromises never reached, [and] backpedalling by Republicans, moderate Democrats, and key interest groups that abandoned proposals they had earlier endorsed.\n) Meanwhile, the constitutional challenges that will be heard by the Supreme Court have been resisted and reframed by most lower courts of appeal.
