The design of the Essential Health Benefits (EHBs) will have a direct impact on the health and well-being of over 70 million Americans. EHB design will also have tremendous impact across our health care system and is a central component of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). A uniform and comprehensive package of essential health benefits has the potential to improve the health and health care of the 2.4 million uninsured Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in the United States.
