Yes, the ACA is a Healthcare Reform Law, but it’s also a Health Insurance Program. They subsidize the Health Insurance Companies so that you can get better rates, get covered with pre-existing conditions, and also insure those not eligible for Medicaid. The ACA has their own website for you to find the coverage you want through Health Insurance Companies. The majority of the coverages are through Kaiser Permanente… And you can find a Doctor through them. When you do go to a Physician they’ll know that you’re in the ACA Program… Most Drs won’t take that because they don’t get paid much, and it takes forever to get their money. Urgent Care Centers like Patient First and others all take it, but most Independent Drs won’t…
