Back to the Future: The ACA in 2015
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010 with the purpose of ensuring that all Americans have access to affordable health care. The original deadline for individuals to sign up for health insurance under the ACA was December 15, 2013, with coverage effective January 1, 2014. Recently, due to challenges with the ACA Web site’s functionality, the deadline for individual enrollment has been extended to March 15, 2014, with coverage effective April 1, 2014, after which individuals are subject to a monthly penalty.
