Abstract

The article aims to determine the degree of knowledge and attitude of medical students toward the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), in relation to the student' political affiliation, specialty choice, and financial standing. It states that an online survey was e-mailed to all Minnesota medical students asking to specify their level of agreement to ACA through the 5-point Likert scale. Result of the study shows ignorance and indecisiveness but an obligation to implement the ACA.
