Posted by Nancy-Ann DeParle on January 18, 2012 at 9:26 AM EST

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.
