 Give tax credits and other assistance to up to 163,000 families and 14,000 small businesses to help them afford coverage.
 Improve Medicare for 106,000 beneficiaries, including closing the donut hole.
 Extend coverage to 30,500 uninsured residents.
 Guarantee that 8,400 residents with pre-existing conditions can obtain coverage.
 Protect 1,600 families from bankruptcy due to unaffordable health care costs.
 Allow 38,000 young adults to obtain coverage on their parents’ insurance plans.
