NOW THAT IT'S LAW, WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU? One of America's most respected news organizations answers our most pressing questions about the historic health care overhaul After a year-long political war, President Obama and the Democratic leaders of Congress achieved in March 2010 a victory that has eluded lawmakers for seventy-five years: an overhaul of America's health care system.

In Landmark, reporters and editors from the national staff of the Washington Post provide a comprehensible summary of the legislation the president will sign into law, and examine the impacts it will have on Americans in various categories, on healthcare providers and insurers, and on the healthcare system as a whole. They also provide a fascinating behind-the-scenes narrative of how the legislation came together, and of the political obstacles, events, negotiations, and compromises that helped determine its shape. Landmark is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to understand the historic changes now under way.
