• Health plans cannot cut off coverage if a person becomes sick, a practice known as rescission.
• Insurers can no longer place a lifetime cap on the insurance benefits you receive.
• You can now stay on a parent's insurance plan until your 26th birthday, if your parent so chooses.
• People who have had trouble getting insurance because of a preexisting condition can join a new national "high-risk pool," a group that will be provided immediate options for purchasing coverage.
