<human>: I've been hearing a lot about the new health care reform law. What does this mean for me?
<bot>: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is designed to expand access to health insurance coverage and improve the quality of that coverage, while also reducing costs. It will provide subsidies to help low-income individuals and families purchase health insurance plans through state-based marketplaces or exchanges. Additionally, it requires all employers with 50 or more employees to offer affordable health insurance coverage or pay a penalty. In general, the ACA aims to make health insurance more affordable and accessible by requiring insurers to cover pre-existing conditions, allowing children to stay on their parents' insurance plans until age 26, and expanding Medicaid eligibility to include more people living in poverty.
