What is Health Care Reform?

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) also known as health care reform into law. The law puts in place a significant number of health insurance reforms that have rolled out over the last three years. Some of the final and most notable changes of the law took effect on January 1, 2014.

One way to characterize the impact of the ACA is to say that it makes insurance more accessible to you. There are a number of provisions throughout the law that help you afford coverage, as well as guarantee you access to insurance with a minimum level of benefits.
