Turn on the light in the darkroom of Healthcare Reform.

I remember as a child learning a new form of patience in a darkroom with rolls of film to be processed into individual pictures.  All the chemicals, the exposure of light sensitive paper, and the slow development of a picture from a vision to a permanent record to be admired.

God forbid someone turned on the light in the darkroom during this process, ruining all of the hard work.  Of course these days digital cameras have eliminated the painstaking process for most of us casual photographers.

The new healthcare reform law is much like that developed picture, slowly taking shape out of the unknown.  We have an idea of what the law intends, but much of the final regulations have yet to be written.   How does one make sense of it all, what takes effect when, and how will it affect policies now and in the future?

I could spend thousands of pages, somewhere around 2700, outlining what the law says, but the our government has taken it upon themselves to provide a medium to present this information.  HealthCare.gov is their portal to disseminate all of this information.   Recommended reading.

If you have any other questions or would like to hear it from a human being, give us a call here at IQ Risk.
