How the Health Care Reform Bill Will Affect You

500x_healthcare_affects_you Before it was passed last night, you made sure to read all the details on the health care reform bill, right? Shocked as we are, we'll point out a quick explainer on what the health care changes mean for your own situation.

The Consumerist blog nicely lists and links all the reading to be done on the official health care reform bill, ranging from the "Chapter V Sub-Section B5a" documents to slightly more condensed bill summaries.

What's better for most people trying to get work done today: The New York Times' simple, interactive readout, which explains what's actually happened for those insured and uninsured, in all types of employment, health, and financial conditions. Click to see the one-paragraph summary of legal changes and updates, and hit the "More" link for a slightly meatier take on the particulars.

If you have another resource that's helped make sense of the very involved overhaul, do let us know in the comments.
