The Patient Protection And Affordable Care Act will bring historic changes to the US health care system. The legislation will require most Ohio residents to purchase health insurance that meet minimum standards established by the federal government. Ohioquotes.com will assist Ohio residents by finding affordable coverage through the “Ohio Health Care Exchange” that will be established prior to 2014. Ohio health insurance plans will also be available outside the “Ohio Health Care Exchange.”
Some of the Ohio health care reform changes for 2010 include:
*An interim high-risk pool will be created for individuals that have been uninsured for several months or who have been denied medical coverage for pre-existing conditions.
*Health insurers can not place lifetime caps (coverage maximums) on policy benefits.
*Ohio health insurers can not nullify or rescind an applicant’s policy when they file a claim, except in the case of fraud.
*Young persons will be able to remain on their parent’s policy through age 26.
Additional health care reform changes will become effective in 2011 and in later years.
