Health Care Reform Legislation
The recently signed comprehensive health care reform legislation is actually two separate laws: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, P.L. 111-148, signed by President Obama on March 23, 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, P.L.111-152, signed into law on March 30, 2010. The text of these laws is available from GPO's Federal Digital System (FDsys). Legislative or pre-enactment materials are available via Thomas, legislative information from the Library of Congress. GovTrack Insider's 'Health Care: How Did We Get Here?', available in the Policy & Analysis links, gives a plain language overview of what the legislation does and does not do as well as providing a brief guide to the multi-step process that resulted in these public laws.
