I've been hearing a lot about the new health care reform law. What does this mean for me?

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is designed to provide affordable and accessible healthcare to all Americans. It will expand Medicaid, which provides health insurance coverage to low-income individuals and families; create health insurance exchanges that allow people to compare and purchase private health insurance plans; and establish tax credits to help individuals and families afford their premiums. Additionally, it will prohibit insurers from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions or charging higher rates due to gender or medical history.
