Or perhaps you have questions about reform. How will the law affect the middle class, or small businesses, or the uninsured? How will it be implemented? What will states need to do to prepare for coverage expansions? This section of our Web site is designed to answer all of those questions and more.

The New Health Reform Law provides links to the text of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” and the "Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010," as well as other official documents.

Understanding the New Law includes overview materials, fact sheets, and issue briefs that discuss specific aspects of the legislation, as well as materials designed to help you talk about the many ways that health reform will positively affect millions of Americans.

Implementing the New Law has information that states will need to prepare for implementation, along with more technical materials that examine the parts of this law that will need to be put into motion over the coming years. This is where you should look for regulations and agency guidance on implementation issues; we'll post them as they are issued.

Roadblocks to Implementation includes several pieces that address efforts to repeal the law or block its implementation, including a PowerPoint that reviews these efforts.

From the States has an interactive state map that shows how many people in each state will gain coverage, the number of lives that would have been lost in each state without reform, and how many small businesses in each state will be helped. It also links you to other state-specific materials.

Publications lists all of our publications pertaining to the new health reform law.

How We Got Here includes links to the materials we developed in 2009, including the Health Reform Tool Kit and Health Reform Watch.
