How Will Health-Care Reform Affect You? Let Us Count The Ways
For the back page of this week's dead-tree edition, I combed through the Senate's 2,074-page bill to answer what, turns out to be, a pretty complex question: how does health-care reform affect you? Here's the answer in visual form, jargon-free and in less than 400 words (for even more-detailed answers to your health-care-reform questions, be sure to read Mary Carmichael's excellent piece on how health-care reform will change our country). A caveat: I worked off the Senate's bill, which will likely be similar─although not identical─to the final version that both houses pass. Enjoy!
