I am repeating the link to the Health Care Implementation Timeline. The timeline is broken down by year and there is an indicator for sections that have been implemented. This is for information only. Please no comments.

I suggest that you do your own research. This thread is basic information on the bill. Google should give more detail.

Obama wasn't even President in 2007. The information you're looking for most likely is unrelated to the health care bill. If you would like to start another thread, I will help you look. This thread is to provide information on the health care bill as it currently stands.

I love the www.healthcare.gov/ site for all information on the new healthcare bill.
For information on insurance options for those without any, the following link is very helpful - answer a brief questionnaire and the system shows you links and information on options:

It's time to bump this thread. 1Athena1 suggested we look at healthcare.gov.
Here is the link. www.healthcare.gov/?gclid=CKjl...
Here is the link to the regulations in the original bill, what has been put in place and what is coming up. Just click on the + to the right of the topic to expand for details. www.healthcare.gov/?gclid=CKjl...
