Although we may know what health reform is, most people in the country still do not understand. The Kaiser Family Foundation made a cartoon in order to explain it..... definitely worth passing along.

This is great, and hopefully it will get passed along to those who need more clarification about what the new health reform law is about. In addition to people wondering what the law is about in general, many are also wondering how they will be affected by the new law, and more specifically, how much they will be expected to pay for health insurance and how much of a subsidy they will be eligible for once the law has been implemented. Again, the Kaiser Family Foundation comes to the rescue. Here is a neat tool that allows people to calculate their eligibility for Medicaid or premium subsidies along with their actual premium payment based on projected income in 2014.

Of course, this calculator probably over-simplifies the formula that will be used to calculate actual subsidies and Medicaid eligibility (it also only calculates subsidies for a single individual or a family of four), but it is still a fun and interesting tool to explore.
