Affordable Care Act Plans

In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as PPACA or "Obamacare", was passed into law.  This sweeping legislation represents the most significant overhaul of the U.S. Healthcare system in generations. The law was enacted with the purpose of increasing the quality and affordability of healthcare insurance and reducing the number of uninsured Americans. A new report shows that a record 40 million Americans have signed up for coverage related to the ACA.
