    I assume you are referring to ACA (affordable care act) also known as Obamacare.

    What the law means to you will vary according to your need and income level. Individuals who have previously been denied health insurance due to pre-existing medical conditions will be able to purchase coverage without regard to their medical history.

    Low income individuals (as defined by the law) will be eligible (at least in some states) to enroll in Medicaid under an expansion provision.

    Others who earn less than 400% of the FPL (federal poverty level) may be eligible for premium subsidies but only if they apply for coverage through the health insurance exchange.

    The numerous changes mandated by Obamacare will result in fewer choices and considerably higher health insurance premiums.

    This politically charged law has thorns among the roses.
