Answer:

The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was enacted in 2010. It was not a voluntary program; it required most individuals to have health insurance or pay the penalty. It did not increase state control over health insurance but increased federal regulations on private health insurance companies and established a national health insurance marketplace. The Supreme Court did not rule it unconstitutional in 2012. But in 2012, The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act under Congress's taxing power, specifically the individual mandate.
