Many Americans have seen benefits under the Affordable Care Act. As the provisions of the law come into effect, seniors with Medicare will see many benefits take place. These include:

  • Brand name prescriptions will be 50% cheaper if you are in the Medicare donut hole. This savings is automatic, and you don’t have to do anything or submit a claim to get the savings.
  • Seniors also get free preventive services, such as colonoscopies and annual free wellness visits to your doctor.
  • There are new programs that allow your doctors and other healthcare providers to work together to provide better care.
  • Medicare fraud is being reduced, costs have come down, and because of this the Medicare program has been strengthened.
  • The law also protects your Medicare coverage. The coverage you already have cannot be taken away, including your ability to see the doctor of your choice.
