Health Care Reform Bill -- HR 3590 -- and What it Means to You

As you probably know by now, H.R. 3590, the nation's health care reform bill passed the House last night, and awaits only the President's signature to become law. As with all laws, the rhetoric is loud and the real-life details are harder to grasp. Here are a couple useful guides to the reform:

• NPR's Consumer's Guide to the Health Overhaul: Explains the bill in question and answer format, including what will happen to employers' requirements to provide healthcare.
• NPR's list of "early deliverables" flowing out of the bill, explaining the immediate impact of the bill to individuals.

 With the President expected to sign the bill on Tuesday, these changes will likely take effect this week.
