The authors discuss developments in the effort to achieve universal health care in the U.S. in 2016, particularly the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Also cited are the ruling by the Supreme Court upholding the legality of the ACA subsidies, the claim by the Congressional Budget Office that will still be 27 million Americans who will be uninsured under the ACA, and some recommendations to resolve the shortcomings of the ACA in terms of coverage and costs
