In The final paragraph of the 'Socialism Debate' section, the ACA begins being referred to as Obamacare. This is inconsistent with the rest of the Article, where it is referred to consistently as the ACA.

"Some Obamacare supporters accused conservatives of using the term "socialism" as a scare tactic for Obamacare as it was for Medicare and Medicaid,[414] and some embraced the label "socialism" as desirable, distinguishing democratic socialism as desirable for education and health care[415] and communism as undesirable.[414] Milos Forman opined that critics "falsely equate Western European-style socialism, and its government provision of social insurance and health care, with Marxist–Leninist totalitarianism".[416]"

The last paragraph should be updated with the term ACA instead of Obamacare in reference to the Affordable Care Act, to be consistent with the rest of the Article.

There is nothing in the Affordable Care Act that requires someone to switch their plan. The reason people had to switch plans is because the private insurance companies changed or eliminated their plan. So, in context - discussing the proposed law - it is correct that nothing in the law would require someone to change their plan. 148.59.188.164 (talk) 23:11, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
