The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a nationwide effort to control healthcare costs and expand insurance coverage. It's the most significant change in national healthcare policy since Medicaid and Medicare were put into place in 1965.

While almost everyone is required to have insurance under the law, there are many private and government options and financial help depending on your circumstances. For more information go to coveredca.com.
