The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590) Implementation Timeline

Press release from the issuing company

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

The healthcare bill passed by the Senate and House will go into effect over a number of years. In 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, most of the bill’s provisions involve new taxes and obligations. For the most part, the healthcare system changes begin in 2014, with some aspects of implementation farther in the future. Below is a timeline of some of the major provisions of this bill.

This timeline reflects only the Senate bill signed into law on March 23, 2010. Now, the Senate is considering a Reconciliation Bill (H.R. 4872) which, if passed, will alter the details of these provisions. NFIB opposes the Reconciliation Bill because in many ways, it takes a bad bill (H.R. 3590) and makes it worse. (More at NFIB)
