What is the New Health Care Law?

The new health care law – called the Affordable Care Act – was passed in 2010. The law is changing the way some Americans get health coverage – but what does it really mean for you?

The law is increasing access to care for all of us. Some changes are happening now.

• Starting in 2014, you will be able to buy private health insurance if you want it, or see if you qualify for a government health plan.
• The new law gives access to coverage to every person, despite any preexisting conditions or other issues that may have prevented you from getting health insurance in the past.
• You will also have access to preventive services and screenings without paying anything out of pocket, to help you stay healthier by preventing health problems, or catching them before they become much more serious.

There are so many benefits to the new law. Let Be Covered Texas help you understand them, so you can make the best decisions for you and your family.
