The Affordable Care Act ensures all person’s legally residing in the US have access to healthcare that will not deny care due to medical history. The program also provides assistance to those who are not qualified for Medicare or Medicaid, do not have a plan offered from their employer, and have income under 600% of the poverty level. Individuals and families who are under 150% of the poverty level qualify for enrolling in plans year around, as opposed to the standard requirement to enroll during Annual open enrollment (Nov 1 - Jan 15).
