    2. Insurance companies now offer many preventive services for free, including flu shots, checkups, cancer screenings, and cholesterol checks.

    3. Insurance companies will no longer be able to charge a woman more than a man for the same coverage.

    4. The Medicare doughnut hole is closing, saving the seniors who fell into this coverage gap an average of $600 each on their prescriptions last

    5. year.
    6. By 2014, no one can be denied insurance due to a pre-existing condition.
