affordable care
Inexpensive medical access
Affordable care refers to healthcare services priced within reach of ordinary people, or subsidized to make them so.
The phrase gained political currency with the Affordable Care Act (2010), U.S. legislation expanding health insurance access: The clinic provides affordable care to uninsured families.
Outside policy contexts, it describes any reasonably priced medical treatment.
