When President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) into law on March 23, 2010, we entered a new era of comprehensive health reform. The act includes several provisions which are designed to expand coverage, control health care costs, and improve the health care delivery system.
Our goal at UnitedHealthcare is simple: to help you understand what health reform means for you.
New laws. New benefits. From children to seniors, changes are happening we are with you every step of the way.
