The answer is no. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a law commonly known as Obamacare.

The purpose of this law is to lower health insurance costs and promote health services so that they are accessible to all.

The law provides consumers with subsidies (“premium tax credits”) that lower costs for households with incomes between 100% and 400% of the Federal Poverty Level.

Health insurance is an agreement with an insurance company that pays for all or a percentage of medical care.

The insurance company can take care of treatments, medications, medical appointments, exams, hospitalizations, rehabilitation services, emergencies, dental treatments, and maternity and pediatric services. The total or partial coverage of care will depend on the plan purchased.

Medical insurance is used to cover health eventualities, such as accidents, illnesses, injuries, or preventive medical care, according to the insurance policy’s conditions.

Health insurance can prevent a financial tragedy by helping you pay for any medical expenses you may incur during your illness.

To apply is necessary to have immigration status in the United States as citizen, resident, with a work permit, with an I-797 certificate, or be in the process of political asylum. It is also necessary to declare your annual taxes or intend to do so for the following year.

*If your immigration status is undocumented, you can’t acquire Health Insurance, but you can access dental, vision, and life insurance plans (to protect your finances in case of illness).
