AARP - Affordable Health Care Act
On Jan. 1, 2014, President Obama's Affordable Care Act will greatly expand the health care benefits being offered to the 55 million Americans with no health coverage, as well as millions more who are underinsured.
The law sets certain standards that all insurers must meet, and mandates that all health plans offered to those who buy health insurance< on their own or in small groups include a set of "essential health benefits."
