HEALTHCARE - How Will It Work?

"How Will the Health Care Law Work? Americans Ask, We Answer" PBS Newshour 7/3/2012

Excerpt

SUMMARY: Susan Dentzer of the journal Health Affairs answers specific questions about the health care law from Americans visiting the National Mall. Among the questions, what will the law mean for small businesses, how soon can someone with pre-existing conditions buy coverage and how will the law get funded?




COMMENT: I know this may be considered politically incorrect, but I have to wonder that after all this time the public SEEMS not to know what this law is about.

Of course conservatives, especially Republicans, have done a very good job at demonizing the issue. Like labeling it 'Government Heath Care' or 'Obama Care.' But these are the people who have fought Medicare since its inception.
