《平价医疗法案》(ACA)的注册期将公共图书馆定位为缺乏足够机会或识字率自行注册的个人的主要注册场所。包容性还将公共图书馆推入了一场关于法律的适当性和内容的重大政治和政策斗争的中心，这项法律涵盖了国家、州和地方政治。基于对公共图书馆数字包容角色的全国调查数据，本文考察了在ACA通过后高度政治化的医疗保健背景下，公共图书馆的健康素养和包容角色和倡议。
The period of enrollment in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as “Obamacare,” positioned public libraries as a primary place for enrollment for individuals lacking sufficient levels of access or literacy to enroll on their own. Inclusion also thrust public libraries into the middle of a significant political and policy fray about the appropriateness and content of the law that encompassed national, state, and local politics. Building on the data from a national survey of the digital inclusion roles of public libraries, this article examines the health literacy and inclusion roles and initiatives of public libraries within the highly politicized context of health care following the passage of the ACA.
