What Health Care reform Means to Nurses?

[crbetts]

So I am doing a presentation for my Nursing Management class on what the New Health Care reform law means to us nurses, and it's SO HARD to cut through all the political crap. Even the ANA site is biased in favor of the law. Of course, there are plenty of sites against the law. Is there any sites out there that anybody knows of that provide an unbiased "it is what it is" look at the law and what it means for nurses? I'm not looking to start any debates here. I don't care about your view of the law, and you don't care about mine. I just need some unbiased information on what it is going to mean for our practices. Thanks.

Go to the health and human services website for the facts rather than interpretations of on other sites. that's where you get the bias and opinions.
