The ACA is the Affordable Care Act
This law limits how much health insurance companies can charge the insured. It also requires insurers to cover specific conditions and treatments, like Pre-existing Conditions, Pregnancy, and Preventative Care.
ACA Plan Categories
ACA Plans have varying levels of coverage: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
Learn what those levels cover and how copays, deductibles, and coinsurance determine how much you pay for health care.
Some Americans also qualify for a subsidy, which lowers the monthly cost of your premium.

Out-of-Pocket Health Costs
Even when you have health insurance, you must pay some costs yourself.
