The ACA offered a complete overhaul of the American health care system, requiring most citizens to carry health insurance. Since President Trump's election into office, the ACA has stayed in the headlines.

Alternative solutions continue to prove elusive. To better understand the major factors driving decision making process and state level dynamics influencing state support or opposition of the ACA, State Politics and the Affordable Care Act examines the initial implementation through established support and opposition factors across four states: Alabama, Michigan, California, and New Hampshire.
