Things from the New Health Law you should know.

I'm sick to death of people telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to the new health care laws. For your edification, here is a partial list of what the new law mandates. To download a copy of the new law and see for yourself, go to www.loc.gov, click on the Thomas tab and search for the new health care law.

Those of you who use wheelchairs will be especially interested in what is found on Page 268, Section 1141. Those of you who are considered "special needs" or who have children with special needs, take a look at Page 354, Section 1177.

So, here goes:

This is what's coming.
