Here you will find the latest news and policy updates concerning Health Reform. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) signed into law by President Obama in 2010 is designed to ensure that American families and businesses have quality, affordable health care coverage options through new Health Insurance Exchanges to be established in every state by 2014.
In 2014, new competitive, private Health Insurance Exchanges will give small businesses and individuals the ability to pool together to purchase affordable, quality health insurance coverage. Consumers will be able to shop, compare and enroll online and will be able to purchase policies at the same rates offered to large corporations. The primary goal of these Exchanges is to make it easier for small businesses and consumers to purchase private insurance policies, make the market more competitive and reduce the number of Americans who are uninsured.
