Diabetes is one of the most widespread chronic diseases that influence not only humans’ health but also their life. Its spreading is associated with the increased consumption of unhealthy food and minimum physical activity of modern people. Therefore, it is necessary to identify what steps could be taken to stop its expansion. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a healthcare policy that plays an essential role in preventing diabetes through the provision of access to healthcare services to all citizens (Konchak et al., 2016). The National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) is a national policy that focuses on stopping the development of this chronic condition (Ackermann, 2017). The analysis of these policies and the other strategies provides the opportunity to understand what role they might play in the improvement of human health. The ability of diabetes prevention policies and strategies to increase awareness about the disease and improve the population’s well-being demonstrates that the health system’s performance in the United States influences population health status. The differences between these policies concern the aspects of the life of people that they involve. Mainly, the ACA policy focuses on the healthcare system in general, organizing and structuring its elements. The problem of diabetes is viewed as a central component in this structure because this disease concerns a considerable number of citizens. NDPP policy, on the other hand, emphasizes the role of lifestyle and sports in the prevention of the problem (Ackermann, 2017). It introduces the idea that the identification of diabetes in the early stages and healthy habits play a significant role in reducing disease development cases. This focus on different areas of life reveals that these policies regard the issue from different angles. The comparison of these two policies contributes to the identification of their similarities. First, both these policies aim to improve the health conditions of the population, regarding diabetes as one of the major problems in the United States. Second, they both emphasize the authorities’ role in the formation of appropriate conditions and values among the population. Mainly, the ACA policy identifies that the officials should focus on expanding the ideas of a healthy lifestyle and its role in preventing the disease. According to Konchak et al. (2016), the policy guarantees the “financial and technical support for expanding wellness programs” (p. 7). NDPP also values the role of “lifestyle intervention programs,” understanding that limiting the spread of the disease requires universal decisions (Ackermann, 2017, p. 1298). This understanding of the necessity to cope with the problem using multidimensional approaches unites these two policies. Diabetes has had a significant impact on the population in the United States. More than twelve percent of the adult population in the country suffer from this illness (Konchak et al., 2016). One of the significant problems was that the majority of these citizens did not take the tests and were unaware of their situation. Consequently, their condition aggravated, and it determined the healthcare system’s difficulties when dealing with these patients. Such complications as amputations and disabilities demonstrated what
