Back in March 23rd of 2010, President Obama signed a comprehensive Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) into law. This law makes it possible for families to access affordable health care. Well, the time has come.
Beginning October 1st, 2013, you are able to purchase health insurance through a new easy-to-navigate marketplace website called Covered California. This website allows you and your family to get financial assistance for coverage and to shop and compare health plans. The information are also available different languages: Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Farsi, Hmong, Kmer, Korean, Lao, Russian, Spanish, Filipino, and Vietnamese. Remember, starting 2014, by law, health insurers are prohibited from discriminating against anyone with pre-existing conditions.
As with any new law, undoubtedly, there will be a lot of questions. Here are sites and fact sheets that you can visit or read for further answers to your questions.
