On the 3rd Anniversary of the Health Care Law the HHS released a report which announced free preventive care measures given to approximately 105 million Americans.

Moreover, about 34 million Americans in Medicare and Medicare Advantage have received one preventive service like a General health check-up – without paying anything out of their pockets.
Preventive services, consumer protections, and other reforms under the Affordable Care Act are giving millions of Americans of all ages more value for their health care dollars and contributing to the slowest growth in health care costs in 50 years.
“Preventing illnesses before they become serious and more costly to treat helps Americans of all ages stay healthier,” Secretary Sebelius said. “No longer do Americans have to choose between paying for preventive care and groceries.”
This report was released by HHS as this week is the third anniversary for the Affordable Care Act.
The Affordable Care Act is giving Americans better value for their health insurance plans by:
