The DOL has created a new webpage that contains links to a variety of resources relating to the major health care reform legislation--the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)--that became law in March 2010.

The webpage includes links to statements by the DOL Secretary and Assistant Secretary, links to White House and HHS webpages about health reform, and a link to an IRS webpage about the new small employer tax credit. There are also links to several items under a heading "House Committees Health Insurance Reform at a Glance," three of which may be of interest to employers:

• Summary. This three-page summary provides an overview of the PPACA. It breaks the new law down into nine categories and then summarizes key points of interest under each subheading.
• Implementation Timeline. This timeline is a great summary of what lies ahead. Grouped by year, from 2010 through 2018, this document lists the many components of health care reform that will become effective and provides a brief description of each one.
• Employers and Health Reform. This document is the most employer-centric of these "at-a-glance" offerings. In summary, under the headings "small employers," "larger employers," and "all employers," it lists health care reform items that are relevant to each employer group.
