    President Obama’s health care law is making health care more affordable for millions of Americans—from offering savings on prescription drugs and preventive care to cracking down on insurance company abuses.

    • Today, your insurance company has to justify any rate hike of 10 percent or more in front of a state or federal rate review program.

    • 54 million Americans received expanded access to free preventive services, like checkups, vaccines, and cancer screenings.

    • Over half of all insurance plans used to put lifetime limits on coverage. Now, 105 million Americans no longer have lifetime caps on their insurance policies.
