Is there anything I should know about the new health care law?

The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, is a complex piece of legislation that has been in effect since 2010. It provides many different types of coverage, including Medicaid expansion for low-income individuals and families, subsidies to help people purchase private insurance plans, and protections for those with pre-existing conditions. Additionally, it requires employers to provide health insurance to their employees and imposes taxes on high-income earners to help fund the program.
