What is the Affordable Care Act?

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a federal law designed to make health insurance more affordable and accessible for individuals and families across the United States. It was signed into law in 2010 and continues to provide critical protections and coverage options for millions of Americans. 

  • Health insurance companies can't deny you coverage or charge you more because of a pre-existing health condition. 

  • All ACA-compliant plans must cover essential health services, including:

    Doctor visits - Hospitalization - Prescription Drugs - Maternity Care - Mental Health Services - Preventative Care (vaccines, screenings)

  • Depending on your income & household size, you may qualify for:

    -Premium Tax Credits to lower monthly payments

    -Cost-sharing reductions to help with out-of-pocket costs

  • Most plans include preventative services at no cost, such as annual check-ups, screenings, & immunizations

  • Insurance plans can't place annual or lifetime limits on coverage for essential health benefits.
