Good summary of the nuts and bolts:
For Consumers, Clarity on Health Care Changes
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/2…"The uninsured are clearly the biggest beneficiaries of the legislation, which would extend the health care safety net for the lowest-income Americans."
"There would be costs to consumers, too. Affluent families would be required to pay additional taxes. Most Americans would be required to have health insurance and face federal penalties if they do not buy it. And it is still unclear what effect, if any, the legislation would have on rising out-of-pocket medical costs and premiums."
"Beginning in 2014, for example, many employers — those with 50 or more workers — could face federal fines for not providing insurance coverage."
"Six months after the legislation is enacted, many plans would be prohibited from placing lifetime limits on medical coverage, and they could not cancel the policies of people who fall ill. Children with pre-existing conditions could not be denied coverage."
There is more good analysis. Read, people.
