Affordable Care (F)Acts.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted in 2010 to make health insurance available to every American and is still in effect for enrolling in 2019 plans. Key highlights:
Insurers cannot:
- reject you for having a pre-existing condition
- put lifetime limits on coverage
- withdraw your coverage just because you're sick
An ACA-compliant health care plan should cover these basics:
- emergency care
- hospitalization
- RX drugs
- maternity and newborn care
- lab services
Mylo is an independent broker who only guides you to plans that are ACA compliant—in a fast, friendly, easy-to-navigate online shop.
