Yes, of course we will be celebrating our independence from Great Britain today.  But, thanks to the ACA, this year we can also celebrate our independence from several other things as well!

• Our independence from the high cost of prescription drugs in the Medicare donut hole.
• Our independence from pre-existing condition exclusions for kids.
• Our independence from insurance lifetime benefit limits.
• Our independence from out-of-pocket costs for preventive care.
• Our independence from going uninsured just because we graduated from school.
• Our independence from grossly inflated health insurance premium rate increases.
• And so much more!

So, as you’re getting ready to settle down for the evening and take in those dazzling fireworks displays, be sure to save a round of applause for the Affordable Care Act!
