When President Obama decided that he wanted to "fix" healthcare by passing the Affordable Care Act, his intentions were to reduce the overall costs of healthcare in America. Regardless of party ties or if you agree with what the President has decided to do, it will affect every person in America. The original bill that passed is thousands of pages; so for me to write about everything you need to know, it would take days and many blog posts.
What I can recommend is taking an active role in trying to figure out how these new laws will affect you NOW and in the future. There are a couple ways to do that. There is a book that is absolutely fantastic at breaking down Obamacare from each type of patient affected's point of view. The book is called "Obamacare Survival Guide" by Nick J. Tate. He was able to take the 2000 plus page bill and break it down by section into 220 pages. It is a very easy and quick read.
The other thing I would recommend, would be coming to see me speak on the topic on July 2, 2013 at Pinecrest Place as a public service sponsored by The Medicine Shoppe of Largo. If you're interested in attending the free event, please either call Diane Baldwin at Pinecrest Place in Largo, or call the pharmacy at 727-501-0188. The event is FREE and it takes place at 2:00 PM.
