The ACA provides financial assistance to help lower the cost of health insurance for people with low and moderate incomes.
The law expands Medicaid to cover more low-income adults in many states.
Insurance companies can't deny coverage or charge more because of pre-existing conditions, and they must cover essential health benefits like emergency services, maternity care, and prescription drugs.
For several years, the ACA required most people to have health insurance or pay a penalty. This mandate has been reduced to $0 starting in 2019, but the requirement technically still exists.
