The effect of the Health Care Reform

As we all know healthcare system in the US has been too expensive, fragmented, and ineffective compared to the healthcare system from other developped countries around the world.  

Fortunately the Affordable Care Act was signed in March 2010 with many fundamental changes directly benefit hard working people in the US.  Roughly 50 million people in the US or 5 million people in California previously uninsured or underinsured will have more affordable health insurance.  By October 2013 the people of California who previously uninsured or underinsured will be able to purchase affordable health insurance from the Insurance Market Place.  Depending on the income level each individual will have assistance from the federal government.  

The Health Care Reform has been gradually and positively implementing in many ways such as transforming health insurance more affordable, promoting preventative health care, etc... The newly transformed health coverage will be in effect starting January 2014.  The people should be able to see a physician to address various long postponed medical issues in order to improve their health, to live, and enjoy a better and happier life.  Discover the links below about Covered California and Health Care Reform Timeline.
