2 Affordable Care Act In March 2010, Congress passed and the President signed into law the Affordable Care Act, which puts in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that will hold insurance companies more accountable, lower health care costs, guarantee more health care choices, and enhance the quality of health care for all Americans. Many important benefits are already in place, including: Bans on the worst insurance company abuses Cost savings for seniors, families and small and large businesses Coverage options for many Americans who have been locked out of the insurance market because of a pre-existing condition. More information on the Affordable Care Act can be found at healthcare.gov. 2

They are State-based competitive marketplaces where individuals and small businesses can: Find information and compare qualified health plans Determine eligibility for tax credits for private insurance or health programs like the Children s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Easily enroll in a qualified health insurance plan that meets their needs. The Affordable Care Act and the proposed rules build a number of important consumer protections into Exchanges. 4
