On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. The law puts in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that will roll out over fouryears and beyond. The Marketplace allows individuals and small businesses to compare health plans on a level playing field. Middle and low-income familieswill get tax credits that cover a significant portion of the cost of coverage.And the Medicaid program will be expanded to cover more low-income Americans.All together, these reforms mean that millions of people who were previously uninsured will gain coverage, thanks to the Affordable Care Act.
