ACA question.. [View all]

I just had a friend tell me her child was diagnosed ADD (after months of going to multiple people to make sure) .. the physician prescribe a medication to her child and her insurance company refused to pay for it and instead insisted that she take a cheaper drug.. I asked if she meant a generic and she claims she was forced to get a different drug altogether because of the costs (a cheaper one picked by the DR, not the one originally prescribed)... is that possible?
if so,
will the plans in the ACA change this so parents can have the drugs they want and are prescribed by a physician they trust?

any advice I should give my friend ?
(she is married, one child)
