The implementation of the Affordable Care Act is now more realistic with the recent Supreme Court ruling. Despite the amount of publicity generated around this topic, it can be difficult to learn how this legislation may affect individuals. In an effort to promote understanding of the implications of the new health care law, two new links have been added to our site on the Medical Care page in our Information Resources section.
An explanation of the various components of the Affordable Care Act (including full text of the law) is provided in the section entitled The Health Care Law and You on the HealthCare.gov site published by the US Department of Health & Human Services.
Consumer Reports has also published a Health Care Reform Update which deals with the major components broken down by their effective dates.
