The Affordable Care Act mandates expanded minimum coverage benefits for all Health Insurance Polices issued in America and mandates that all citizens buy a qualified Health Insurance Plan.
For those citizens who can afford the new minimum coverage insurance plans, they will enjoy expanded coverage benefits including preexisting conditions and medicines and other procedures that were previously not typically covered. The cost though is reflected for most in higher insurance premiums and much higher deductibles.
For the poor and low income who can not afford the required minimum coverage, they will have committed a federal misdemeanor and assessed a Tax penalty as punishment for failure to afford or acquire the coverage. The tax penalties collected from these violators are designated in the Act to be used to Enforce the Affordable Care Act on the citizenry.
