Are you concerned about the changes ahead for healthcare? What do you find most confusing about it? Do you think you'll sign up for health insurance through an exchange this fall? Are you afraid of the New Single Streamlined Health Insurance Application form, or do you think it'll be simple to use? With over 900 pages and some 450 provisions, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as Health Care Reform, or "Obamacare") is one of the most complex pieces of legislation ever signed into law. And although Obamacare has had a high profile throughout the past several years of political fights over health reform, that hasn't ensured that Americans understand what the law actually does. Even after three years, many Americans are still confused about Obamacare's specific provisions, and can't correctly identify what is and isn't in the health law according to the Kaiser Family Foundation's March 2013 tracking poll.But no matter where you stand on the issue, it's likely you're thinking, "Hello? I got some basic questions still unanswered here." And you deserve real answers, not the partisan rhetoric and spin we've been flooded with. So Afraid of-or just confused about-the changes Obamacare may bring? Not to worry: Here's a truly quick, bottom-line guide to what's happening when, including what you need to do and what you don't need to worry about. Whether you are those currently insured, those who are not, and the tens of millions of seniors, youth, business people and others who will be affected by the new law, this NEW SURVIVAL GUIDE offers a wealth of reliable , reassuring information that will helps you take the first steps toward navigating your individual health plan.
