Enrollment is open again for all Americans from November 15th, 2014, until February 15th, 2015.

2. Millions of people got coverage during the enrollment period that ended last March. In fact, 10.3 million fewer adults are uninsured now than in 2013. That's some awesome, truly life-changing good news!

3. Anyone who still needs insurance still can shop for a plan, and anyone who's already covered with a plan through the marketplace has a chance to renew their plan or choose an even better one that fits their families' needs.

4. Pre-existing conditions? Not anymore.

Before Obamacare, insurance companies could deny you coverage because of pre-existing conditions—something as serious as cancer or as minor as acne (yes, really). Take heart: You can no longer be denied. Your past or current health can't prevent you from getting covered.

5. And preventative care? Covered under every plan.

This includes vaccinations, cholesterol screenings, blood pressure screenings, mammograms, pap smears, and a lot more.

6. Even better: Health care could be more affordable than you think.

Financial assistance is available to help with the cost of your monthly premiums. Just look at how Claire went from paying $680 a month for health care to less than $50.

7. Don't take it from us—the President put it pretty well.

Spread the word: November 15th is the start of the next health care enrollment period.
