The regulations that took effect yesterday mean that the more than 30,000 people who would have lost their insurance this year because they reached their lifetime limits or had it rescinded will keep their coverage; it means that more than 72,000 children who have been denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition, will now have access to it; and it means that up to 88 million Americans can now afford preventive care, access emergency services and receive help through the insurance appeals process.
