A client asks the nurse, "How am I going to pay for a surgery? I'm broke, but I've been so sick." Which statement regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may be applicable to this client's situation?
A) "The ACA extends coverage to the working poor who do not qualify for public assistance and whose employers do not offer health insurance."
B) "Unfortunately, you will probably be denied coverage because of your existing condition."
C) "Most insurance premiums will be more and some less; you will have to shop around."
D) "Because the rate of inflation is slowing, the ACA will also help curb medical costs."
Answer: A
The ACA extends coverage, in some states, to the working poor who do not qualify for public assistance and whose employers do not offer health insurance. Under the ACA, a client cannot be denied coverage because of an existing condition. Insurance premiums should remain the same.
