Understanding the Health Care Law

With the health care reform vote, and its passage occurring this week, I thought it might be useful to post some resources to better understand what the law entails.

The Wall Street Journal has an interactive program showing the key parts of the bill and when they take effect.

How the health care bill could affect you is an interactive from CNN.

‘The Reality of Reform’: Understanding the Health Care Law comes from The New York Times Learning Network. It includes an excellent lesson plan, adaptable for most Project Read students.

Many students will have heard something about Health Care Reform, and I’m just trying to figure it out all myself. I hope you find some of these links to be helpful and please feel free to add to this list in the comments.
