About Federal Health Care Reform
Many consumers across Virginia have questions about the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act, (PPACA) (Public Law. No. 111-148) or the "federal health care reform bill."
This page is presented to assist consumers in better understanding the many changes

terms, and links to other resources and helpful information about the federal health
care reform bill.
The Bureau of Insurance and other involved agencies are making good progress sorting
through the details and interpretations included in the federal health care reform
bill, but there are still many unknowns, and many of the details have yet to be
fully determined. We encourage you to visit this page and the associated links regularly
and often as new information is posted.
