The Affordable Care Act Is Moving Forward
|
 For too long, too many hardworking Americans paid the price for policies that handed free rein to insurance companies and put barriers between patients and their doctors. The Affordable Care Act gives hardworking families in Florida the security they deserve. The new health care law forces insurance companies to play by the rules, prohibiting them from dropping your coverage if you get sick, billing you into bankruptcy because of an annual or lifetime limit, or, soon, discriminating against anyone with a pre-existing condition.
The Affordable Care Act was signed into law more than two years ago and the health care law is making a difference in the lives of millions of people like you. How is the law being implemented here in Florida? Read on to learn more.
