What is ACA Insurance?
The ACA, also known as Obamacare, is a law that was passed in 2010. One of the main goals of the ACA was to make health insurance more accessible and affordable for Americans. The ACA created health insurance marketplaces, where individuals and families can shop for and compare plans from different insurance companies.

Doctor visits
Hospital care
Prescription drugs
Mental health care
Maternity care
Preventive care
ACA policies also have limits on out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. This means that you will not be responsible for paying more than a certain amount of money for your health care costs each year.
