Yes, it is. The Affordable Care Act (often called "Obamacare") was passed by congress in 2010, signed by the president, and then upheld by the US Supreme Court in 2012.

Will ObamaCare cover breast augmentation?

How much is Obamacare?

ObamaCare (or, more properly, the PPACA) is not a insurance coverage plan. It is a legal regulatory framework concerned with making substantial changes to both the government-sponsored health plans (Medicare/Medicaid) and the private insurance plan market. Thus, you can't "buy Obamacare". In terms of the economic impact of the law, that's a complete unknown at this point. The law and changes are complex and far-reaching, and we won't have even a basic sense of the economic result until 2018 at the very earliest.
