enactment

Let’s make no mistake about the broader context: The GOP has had its knives out for the Affordable Care Act since its enactment.

A number of institutions had started complying with the bill months ahead of SB 1’s enactment, shuttering campus identity centers, terminating DEI staff and eliminating degree programs.

As the Republican-dominated House and Senate continue to move their budget bills toward enactment, we’ve been hearing a lot of hypocritical persiflage about “able-bodied” Americans taking undue advantage of Medicaid and food stamps.

"I'm hoping for the enactment of this new legislation as soon as possible, maybe towards the end of this year, maybe at the beginning of next year," Promphan says.

But those have flattened out as a percentage of gross domestic product since 2010, when the enactment of the Affordable Care Act brought better access to medical care to millions of Americans.
