Health Care Reform (HCR)
Overview
We understand that the health care reform bill is daunting in both its size and scope, but knowing where to look for information is half the battle. Some of our favorite organizations for overview information about health care reform include:
The Government’s New Health Reform Focused website
For information about the issues leading to national health care reform, watch Frontline’s documentary Sick Across America.
Many provisions of national health care reform that affect women and children go into effect on September 23rd of this year. For more information about these provisions, read IMCHC’s policy brief on the subject.
A good timeline for when key provisions will go into effect was prepared by the Ways and Means Committee for the House of Representatives.
