My Care

My Care (#MyCare) is a new initiative we launched today to educate Americans about different parts of the Affordable Care Act through stories from real people. Each day next week (March 19-23) we will be releasing a new video about a different provision of the law, and what it meant for a person or family. Check it out: www.healthcare.gov/mycare
