Several changes kick in on January 1st with new health care law

Pres. Obama signs the PPACA into law in March, 2010

This coming Saturday, new some new laws go into effect thanks to the so-called Obama-care health care bill. Medicare patients will now be eligible to receive various preventative health screening procedures free of charge. Also, parents will be able to insure children up to 26 years of age under their own (parents') policy.
To find out what other changes will be taking effect soon, please look up the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 in the whitehouse.gov webiste.

The Republicans are still saying "not so fast" and continue to promise to successfully repeal what they have dubbed "Obamacare". It should be an interesting Supreme Court battle at some point.
