VA Launches New Affordable Care Act Web Page

This week, the Department of Veterans Affairs updated its website with a new page containing information on the Affordable Care Act (ACA).  The page is easy to navigate, and is broken down into different links for veterans already enrolled in VA care, un-enrolled veterans, and family members.  Those who are not enrolled yet can use the site to learn more about eligibility, begin the enrollment process, or initiate an online chat for more help.  There are also various fact sheets and FAQs available.
 
As a reminder, all enrolled veterans, TRICARE beneficiaries, and CHAMPVA family members already meet the minimum standard for coverage required by the ACA.  To visit the website, click here: http://www.va.gov/health/aca/.
