Six months after the new health care law took effect, the White House is launching a campaign to win over the many Americans who remain skeptical about it.
The Obama administration is highlighting new reforms that take effect Thursday, the Associated Press reported. They include provisions that prohibit insurers from cancelling coverage for people who become ill, that offer free coverage for preventive care, that also offer coverage under parental policies for young adults until they are 26 and which remove lifetime coverage limits. The new provisions are being touted by Democrats as a "Patient's Bill of Rights." "When people better understand the Affordable Care Act, they'll understand, I think, that this isn't something being done to them but is something that's really going to be valuable to them," Obama said Tuesday during a conference call with community and religious leaders, the AP reported.
