Starting Point

Right now, our healthcare system is going through an incredible transformation.  Some may be curious about that and the big picture, whereas others are just worried about finding a doctor, getting coverage, or getting someone to help them.  I'm hoping I can use this as a venue for sharing information over the next several months if not longer.

As a starting point I'd like to mention two really important websites.  One is the best health policy website I'm aware of, the one run by the Kaiser Family Foundation, www.kff.org.

The other important website is www.healthcare.gov.  It's where the uninsured (and in some cases the insured) will be able to shop for health insurance coverage, and find help paying for it starting in October of 2013..with coverage starting in January.  You can also sign up for email updates to learn more.
