Nearly a month after the Health Care Reform Bill was signed by President Obama, many people are still wondering how the Bill will affect them. According to Washington news reports, so is Congress.

According to the Congressional Research Service, a survey shows that with the new Bill, many members of Congress and their staffers will be booted out of their old health care plans. As of right now, members of Congress and other parts of the government participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (F.E.H.B.P.); however, lawmakers added a provision into the legislation dictating that they would be required to buy health care coverage through the state-based exchanges the new laws establish. The purpose of the provision was to make good on the promise that all Americans would receive the same coverage as members of Congress. The problem is, those exchanges will not be in place until 2014, and Congress may technically be forced out of the F.E.H.B.P. before then.

Many people wonder if Congress fully grasped the details of the influence this bill would have on the lives of Americans. Whether they did or not, regular citizens are still trying to find the answers for themselves. National Public Radio reports that “government officials, physicians and nonprofit groups are receiving ‘an avalanche of questions’ from people confused about how the health care reforms will impact them.”

If the Health Care Bill has you and your friends confused, don’t worry. People in Washington are just as confused as you are.
