What now? Despite the rancorous, divisive, year-long debate in Washington, many Americans still dont understand what the historic overhaul of the health care system willor wontmean. In Landmark, the national reporting staff of The Washington Post pierces through the confusion, examining the new laws likely impact on us all: our families, doctors, hospitals, health care providers, insurers, and other parts of a health care system that has grown to occupy one-sixth of the U. S. economy. Landmarks behind-the-scenes narrative reveals how just how close the law came to defeat, as well as the compromises and deals that President Obama and his Democratic majority in Congress made in achieving what has eluded their predecessors for the past seventy-five years: A legislative package that expands and transforms American health care coverage. Landmark is an invaluable resource for anyone eager to understand the changes coming our way.
