Expanded Coverage
A significant goal of the Affordable Care Act is near universal coverage. To accomplish this, a mandate requiring most U.S. citizens and legal residents to have health insurance is included. There are individual regulations that support this initiative by:
• Expanding Medicaid coverage • Removing bans on coverage of individuals with pre-existing conditions • Setting required groundwork for the formation of state-based health insurance exchanges • Supplying assistance for individuals to procure insurance • Expanding coverage of dependents up to age 26
