FEATURED ECONOMIES

Given Senate bill is more 2,400 pages long, it is not easy to pinpoint effective date for every provision [as we noted in FEATURED ANALYSIS]. But there are other provisions that seem to go into effect immediately, or at least as quickly as officials can implement [as we said]...
Most major provisions do not take effect for months, if not years [again, as we said] ...
Even some popular changes Democrats promoting as “immediate benefits,” like allowing adult dependent children to remain on their parents’ insurance policies, do not actually take effect for six months...
For instance, “freestanding birth centers” are now eligible for Medicaid payments.
Another provision that appears to take effect right away is an expansion of Medicare to cover certain victims of “environmental health hazards,” which was aimed specifically at the town of Libby, Mont.
The provision was inserted by Senator Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana and a lead author of the Senate health care measure ...
You get the idea ... ;-) ...
