Healthcare Reform is upon us. Last week the COMMITTEES ON WAYS & MEANS, ENERGY & COMMERCE, AND EDUCATION & LABOR posted an Implementation Timeline. Certainly not all inclusive to the bill that was passed; as the timeline is only seven pages compared to well over 2,000 pages in the bill. Also they left out some interesting things; such as, employer responsibility for the cost of health coverage, tax on individuals for non-coverage, or surcharge (tax) on high income individuals.
Regardless, I think it important we understand everything we can about the bill and how it will impact all of us. So, here is the link to the Implementation Timeline.

My suggestion is to get all in the information you can. Does not seem there is one place to get it, even finding the most recent copy of the bill is difficult, and amendments are not incorporated that I can find. No one is going to cover all the facts since every news agency and government office all seem to have their own agenda for what to get out there. For now all we are going to get are various renditions of Healthcare Reform at a Glance; Not Enough, But Take it as You Can Get It.
