The Good News About Obamacare

Before Obamacare, healthcare was too expensive for many families to afford. And even if you could afford it, insurance companies would deny coverage to anyone who had a preexisting medical condition, making it near impossible to get coverage if you weren't 100% healthy. Obamacare, officially known as the "Affordable Care Act," changed all of that. Now, by law, healthcare has become much more affordable and universally available. You don't need a high income or perfect health to get insured.

The Bad News...

Obamacare can be very confusing - the law is over 1,000 pages long! People have been overloaded with information, some of which has been inaccurate and contradicting. Some government websites have also been limited in terms of ease of use and health options offered. All this has made it difficult for people to know their options, shop around, and enroll in the plan that is truly the best fit for their income and coverage needs.
