I've been hearing a lot about the new health care law. What does it mean?

The Affordable Care Act is designed to provide affordable and accessible health insurance coverage for all Americans. It sets up health insurance exchanges, or marketplaces, which allow individuals and small businesses to compare and buy health plans at competitive prices. It also creates financial assistance programs to help people afford their premiums, as well as subsidies to help low-income families purchase health insurance.
