Affordable Care Act of 2010

At A Glance

On March 23, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 into law.   The goal of the ACA is to ensure that everyone residing legally in the United States has healthcare coverage. In order to meet that goal, the ACA ensures that there are affordable healthcare coverage options available to people at all income levels. The ACA will be fully implemented beginning January 1, 2014, although several provisions have been instituted already.  Please go to our website section Health Reform Information for more details.
