What are the benefits of the new health care law?

The Affordable Care Act has many positive effects on individuals and families. It provides access to affordable health insurance for millions of Americans, including those with pre-existing conditions, young adults up to age 26, and people who have been uninsured for more than six months. It also expands Medicaid coverage to millions of low-income adults and children in states that choose to participate. In addition, it requires all businesses with 50 or more employees to provide health insurance or pay a penalty. This helps reduce the number of uninsured Americans and increases the financial security of workers.
