you don't mention how you get your insurance -- at work or buy it on your own. if you buy your own insurance it's possible you may be required to switch to a different plan if the one you currently have isn't compliant with the new law. if that's the case your insurer should have already sent you a notice. the good news for you and your partner is that starting january 1 2014 the affordable care act prohibits insurers from turning anyone down because of a pre-existing condition. that means you'll have the freedom to shop new options and will be guaranteed coverage. open enrollment is now underway. you can look on healthcare. gov to start learning what's available to you in your state. if you're happy with you current plan and it isn't being phased out you can also stick with what you've got.
