Revenue Act of 1954 is passed to exclude
employers contributions to employees health plans from taxable income. The Medicare and Medicaid programs are signed into law to help provide funding for home health care, long-term care and insurance for the poor and disabled. The PPS was established by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 1983, specifically to address expensive hospital care. Regardless of services provided, payment was of an established fee. The idea was to encourage hospitals to tame increasingly expensive hospital care.

The House of Representatives passes the Senate
bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and sends it to the President for signature. The historic health reform legislation requires that all individuals have health insurance beginning in 2014. The poorest will be covered under a Medicaid expansion. Those with low and middle incomes who do not have access to affordable coverage through their jobs will be able to purchase coverage with federal subsidies through new "American Health Benefit Exchanges." Employers are not mandated to provide health benefits, however large businesses whose employees receive insurance subsidies will pay penalties. Small businesses will be able to access more plans through a separate Exchange. Health plans will not be allowed to deny 2010 National Health Reform Enacted coverage to people for any reason, including their health status, nor can they charge more because of a person's health or gender. Young adults will now have the option of being covered under their parents' plan up to age 26.
