This Tuesday is an important day for families, businesses,

It's the day a big part of the Affordable Care Act kicks in,

quality, affordable health care as everyone else.

But first - here's what the Affordable Care Act

If you're one of the vast majority of Americans

you already have new benefits  you didn't before,

and discounts on prescription  medicine for seniors.

You've already got new protections in place too,

like no more lifetime limits on your care,

or being able to stay on your parents' plan

to Americans with  health insurance right now.
