I've heard a lot of talk about the new health care law. What does it all mean?

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a set of laws passed in 2010 that aims to provide access to affordable and quality health insurance for everyone living in the US. It includes provisions such as requiring most Americans to have health insurance, providing subsidies for those who can't afford it, expanding Medicaid coverage to more low-income individuals, and allowing young adults to stay on their parents' plans until age 26.
