It’s been nearly two years since President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law. In that time, the law has already made an incredible difference to millions of Americans:
•2.5 million more young adults have health insurance.
•As of October 2011, more than 2.65 million seniors got a 50 percent discount on their prescription drugs when they hit the donut hole.
•Insurance companies can no longer drop your coverage when you get sick or put a lifetime cap on the amount of care you can receive.
