Several newspapers (including The Stranger) have printed short-and-sweet summaries of the reforms contained in the health-care bill.

But the Kaiser Family Foundation has a longer, more comprehensive list of the changes and when they're scheduled to happen. Such as:

Permit employers to offer employees rewards of up to 30%, increasing to 50% if appropriate, of the cost of coverage for participating in a wellness program and meeting certain health-related standards. Establish 10-state pilot programs to permit participating states to apply similar rewards for participating in wellness programs in the individual market.

and:

Create the Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OP) program to foster the creation of non-profit, member-run health insurance companies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to offer qualified health plans. (Appropriate $6 billion to finance the program and award loans and grants to establish CO-OPs by July 1, 2013)

Non-profit health insurance! Who'da thunk it? Besides Blue Shield, which "started as a tax-exempt insurer to cover employees of mining and lumber companies in the Pacific Northwest." (Courtesy of "The Capitalist Case for Nonprofit Health Insurance" in Forbes last year.)
