AAHD Starts ACA Blog Series

March 13, 2020 by NDNRC

This month represents the 10-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) becoming law and on March 23, the ACA will have been the law of the land for 10 years. Today we are starting a series of blog posts which highlight the importance of the ACA for people with disabilities. Today’s blog post highlights the important protection that the ACA provides by prohibiting denial of coverage due to pre-existing conditions. Our schedule for all our blog posts over the next 10 days is as follows:

  1. Friday, 3/13: Prohibition against Denial of Coverage for Pre-Existing Conditions
  2. Saturday, 3/14: Guaranteed Renewability of Coverage
  3. Sunday, 3/15: Prohibition against Individual Underwriting
  4. Monday, 3/16: Essential Health Benefits Required in Every Qualified Health Plan
  5. Tuesday, 3/17: Prohibition against Lifetime Monetary Caps
  6. Wednesday, 3/18: Prohibition against Discrimination in Health Programs
  7. Thursday, 3/19: Extension of Mental Health Parity to the Individual and Small Group Market
  8. Friday, 3/20: Medicaid Expansion
  9. Saturday, 3/21: Highlighting Other Protections/Benefits
  10. Sunday, 3/22: Advocacy – The Future of the ACA
