The Washington Post is reporting that, as of today, over 5 million people have enrolled in Obamacare, and further estimations project that the number will rise to 6 million before March 31, which is the last day to apply for affordable health care under the Obamacare act before getting a fine.

While this number certainly has conservatives up in arms, this number begs the question: what are the benefits, really, of the Affordable Health Care Act?

Here are the top 5 benefits that many people in the conservative movement don't want you to consider when applying for affordable healthcare:

1. Obamacare prevents fraud: The Affordable Healthcare Act has set aside $350 million just to fight against Medicare and Medicaid fraud. These same dollars will be used to prosecute those who do attempt to defraud the system.

2. The Medicare Trust Fund will be safe: This is good news for almost-seniors, those who don't yet qualify for Medicare but will in the future. The Medicare fund, as it stands right now, is safe until 2029.

3. Better preventative care: The Affordable Healthcare Act ensures that preventative care will be provided at no out-of-pocket costs to subscribers.

4. Medicare benefits will stay the same: Seniors won't have to worry about any changes in their healthcare under the new Affordable Healthcare Act.

5. The "Donut Hole" will be closed: There's a loophole in the system that causes a gap in coverage, making it difficult to afford medications. The Affordable Healthcare Act closes that hole, making medications affordable for all.

The Affordable Health Care for America Act (or HR 3962) was a bill that was crafted by the United States House of Representatives in November 2009. It never became law as originally drafted. At the encouragement of the Obama administration, the 111th Congress devoted much of its time to enacting reform of the United States' health care system. Known as the "House bill," HR 3962 was the House of Representative's chief legislative proposal during the health reform debate. On December 24, 2009, the Senate passed an alternative health care bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590). In 2010, the House abandoned its reform bill in favor of amending the Senate bill (via the reconciliation process) in the form of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.
