(ENGLISH)
Free preventive care before you get sick. Any new health plan created since March 2010 must cover preventive services like well-baby checkups, diabetes tests, flu shots, and many cancer screenings. New insurance plans also now must cover preventive care specifically for women, including mammograms, pap smears, pre-natal care, and more.
