What it is – How it works?

By Staff Reporters

At a time when many Americans are confused about the healthcare overhaul law, a coalition of groups representing doctors, nurses, pharmacists and consumers has launched a website to answer questions about the Affordable Care Act.

The new website – HealthCareandYou.org – doesn’t delve into the politics behind the law, but spells out what the law means to consumers, depending on the state they live in and their age. The website also provides a timeline, telling consumers when different parts of the law go into effect.

The Site

According to the site, The Affordable Care Act is a health care law that aims to improve our current health care system by increasing access to health coverage for Americans and introducing new protections for people who have health insurance.

If you have health insurance, you will benefit from steps to stop insurance companies from cancelling your coverage if you get sick. The law will also require insurance plans to cover your out-of-pocket costs for many proven preventive and screening services, such as colonoscopies and mammograms, to catch problems at their earliest, most treatable stages.

Your job might not offer health insurance. Or, maybe you have been denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition such as asthma or cancer. The law now offers health plans for people with pre-existing conditions who have had trouble finding care. And it will increase access to coverage for more Americans in 2014.

The law helps small businesses pay for health insurance for their employees. And it supports programs that will help increase the number of primary care physicians, nurses, physician assistants and other health care professionals.

Assessment

It is important to understand what the law means for you. Check out what changes have already taken place and learn more about what is happening in your state.
