IBC eBulletin - Health Care Reform Bill Overview

As you know, last week health care reform legislation was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. There are two parts to this legislation: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as the Senate Bill and the White House/Congressional Leadership Reconciliation Bill Health Care and Education Affordability Act of 2010, known as the Reconciliation Bill. The Senate bill was signed into law on March 23 by President Obama, and the Reconciliation bill was signed by him on March 30.  We would like to provide you with an overview of what the legislation is trying to accomplish and the immediate impact on our customers.  It is important to note that the federal government will issue regulations for the law that will significantly affect the interpretation and implementation of the law.
