The bill has passed... here's what you need to know now.

It's going to be a while before anything is finalized with the bill. As you may or may not know President Obama signed the bill into law as of 3/23/2010. This does not mean that everything will go into effect right away. The Bill that was passed on Sunday was the Senate bill with some exclusions such as the corn-husker kickback and Gator-aide as well as the Louisiana Purchase.

Since these items have been taken out of the bill, it has to be signed by the president then sent back to the Senate for approval. If the Senate changes anything on the bill, such as adds an amendment or takes anything out of it, it will need to be sent back to the House for approval again and it starts all over.

If the Senate approves this signed bill it will go into law. As of now there are 13 states that are filing a federal lawsuit to stop the bill saying it is unconstitutional by mandating that people buy health insurance. If you are worried about what happens next, don't. Until everything gets finalized through Congress and possibly the courts, it's business as usual.

I will post more information about what is in this bill as I continue to read through the bill. Please check back often.

If you feel you are paying too much for insurance please fill out your information on my health insurance page and allow me to take a look and see if I can save you some money.
