6. Are the Prescription Drug Benefits detailed in the ACA already in effect?

I was under the impression that didn't start until Jan, 2014.

My wife currently has a rather expensive monthly prescription, and we would love access this benefit.

4. The No Co-Pay provision started August 1, 2012

On August 1st, an important provision of the Affordable Care Act kicks in that many women will welcome with open arms, or, uh, legs — something the government is calling Affordable Access to Preventative Care, but that you can think of as No Copay Day, the magical day when you no longer have to pay for birth control or breast exams or a number of other ladyparts-related health care.

Thank You, frazzled.
Unfortunately, this will not apply to my wife's current prescription.
