In this essay I plan on talking about everything there is to know about this issue that has been facing the US today. We all know that people being uninsured or even underinsured has been a serious issue for many years now, we will discuss the major problems that are related to this issue, I will give a full detailed history of this issue we will start from the beginning I believe that it is important that people know where the issue started and see how far we have come, I will discuss this problem and I will also talk about this issue in another country other than the US, we need to find out if the problem is worse in the US or outside of the US. We will discuss the stakeholders that are involved and what they have done to address the issue so far. I will be talking about the Patient Protection and Affordable care act of 2010 because I feel that it is an important topic with the
