The Latino community is one of many that will greatly benefit from the Affordable Care Act.

Health insurance will be extended to nine million Latinos under health care reform, says the League of United Latin American Citizens.

LULAC says that they aim to ensure that that insurance companies don't deny people health coverage when they get sick, Medicare recipients can pay for their prescriptions and that all people have access to preventative care.

"Health care reform brings us closer to establishing health care as a civil right," says LULAC president Rosa Rosales. "With one in three Latinos lacking health insurance coverage, Hispanic families have suffered more than any other ethnic group due to lack of coverage and inadequate care."

In addition to the Latino community, people from a range of backgrounds and income levels stand to gain from the Affordable Care Act.

Provisions under the Act aim to help everyone from seniors to low-income children get affordable access to quality health care. Expanded Medicare coverage and health insurance markets along with other resources are being created to bring coverage to all citizens.
