Thirteen years ago this month, Congress passed the Affordable Care Act (ACA), otherwise known as Obamacare.
In theory, the ACA shouldn’t have affected public school districts all that much. Most already offered health care plans that met the ACA’s requirements to at least cover 10 “essential benefits,” and a “Cadillac Tax” on high-cost plans that had been included in the original bill was delayed and then eventually repealed.
