But, with the democrats and republicans strongly divided on universal health care, it can be tough for the average American citizen to find answers.
Fortunately, the graphic below will help.

What’s on Deck for the ACA in 2013
Although most of the coverage expansions and insurance reforms under the Affordable Care Act don’t kick in until 2014, several key ACA provisions are scheduled to take effect next year, including:
•Medicaid payments to primary care physicians for primary care services will increase to 100% of Medicare rates for two years.
•States that offer Medicaid coverage with no patient cost-sharing for recommended preventive services will receive a one percentage point increase in federal matching payments.
•Medicare will test bundled payments for physician services, acute inpatient hospital services, outpatient hospital services, and post-acute care services for a patient’s episode of care.
•The federal government will impose an excise tax of 2.3% on the sale of taxable medical devices.
•Reductions will begin on disproportionate share hospital payments under Medicare and Medicaid.
•Non-profit, member-run health insurance companies known as Consumer Operated and Oriented Plans (CO-OPs) will launch.

Obama Delays Crucial Part of Health Care Law
In a significant setback for President Obama’s signature domestic initiative, the administration – on July 2nd, 2013 – abruptly announced a one-year delay until 2015, in his health care law’s mandate that larger employers provide coverage for their workers or pay penalties.
The decision postpones the effective date beyond next year’s midterm elections.
