Health Care in 2012
In 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law. In an attempt to make health care insurance more affordable to Americans and provide coverage options to a greater number of people, a variety of new health care provisions and revisions to health insurance were included in the act. While some of the new standards have already been implemented, there are many that will continue to roll out in the next few years, with several changes coming in 2012.
