How does the new health care law help me?

The Affordable Care Act adds some benefits that help everyone. If you haven't been able to afford insurance in the past, it makes it possible to find affordable coverage and to help pay for it through subsidies and tax credits. 

If you haven't been able to qualify for insurance because of a health condition, it makes coverage available to you. And, if you've had insurance with restrictions that made it hard to cover all your health care needs, new rules remove some of the limits usually included in health coverage in the past.
