CHANGES IN THE ACA

While many people are aware of the fact that pharmaceutical companies are major contributors to political campaigns, a lot of people do not realize that so are health insurance companies. It is important to stay abreast of healthcare news and legislature because of how it is going to affect your and your family’s healthcare. In the past few decades, there have been many changes in healthcare laws and it is projected that the changes will continue, even if you feel like you have been able to have good healthcare thus far. Some changes will benefit some, while causing hardships for others. It is important to be informed and as much as possible, to be proactive in trying to keep or get access to affordable and comprehensive healthcare.
