Go Back to School with MyCare

Don’t worry – you don’t actually have to go back to school, but you may need to be schooled in the facts about the Affordable Health Care Act in play. Americans everywhere will need to educate themselves about the new benefits, rights, and laws, concerning the new health care plan.

That is where the MyCare initiative comes in as a way to school Americans all over the country about the available programs and benefits that are active under this new health care law. Time to get your learning cap on so you can know all there is to know about MyCare and the Affordable Health Care Act.

How it All Started

The beginning to it all was March 23, 2010 when President Obama first signed the Affordable Health Care Act. This event led to about $730 million in grants being handed out to community health centers everywhere (chances are even one near you). These grant funds are being used all over the country to improve equipment and conditions for these community health centers  as well as even helping to provide more job.

Employment at the health centers has gone up about 15 percent not to mention that nearly 200 health centers are either under construction while 60 are in the works as brand new construction.  It’s a formula that works: new construction = new jobs.

These community health centers serve dual purposes as job centers, social meet-ups, and places to get everything from prescriptions to dental work. These centers are often times all people have for miles, so without them there would be a plethora of problems that no one wants or even deserves. This aspect of the new Act has certainly provided some positives well-needed in this country right now.

More on MyCare

You may still be wondering what exactly MyCare is and what it means for you. MyCare is a program that is focused on providing Americans everywhere (not just here in New Mexico) with the information they need to understand how exactly they are affected by the Affordable Health Care Act. This includes educating them about new laws, programs, benefits, etc.

The MyCare program has also been encouraging those who have been affected in some way by the health care act to share their stories via Twitter or Facebook, encouraging engagement and interaction through these social media platforms.
