You probably know by now that, on March 23, 2010, landmark healthcare reform legislation was signed into law. The formal title of the law is the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010″, but most people call these reforms “Obamacare”. Sometimes, the acronym “PPACA” is used but, more commonly, it is referred to as the “Affordable Care Act”, or simply “ACA” for short.
One week after the enactment of the law, the Healthcare Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 amended the new law. Since then, more than twenty thousand pages (!) of proposed reforms, clarification and implementation information have been disseminated. Whatever you call the law, the fact is that there are numerous changes, new requirements, and major compliance responsibilities for American individuals and businesses. These changes are being phased in gradually over a period of years, with the biggest impacts coming in 2014.
To best protect you, your family and your business, you need to make sure that you know:
- where the best and most affordable health plan options will be;

- and much more.
