The Kaiser Family Foundation has published a very readable Summary of the Health Reform Act in plain English, except for pesky abbreviations such as FPL (=federal poverty level). Some, possibly critical, details have been left out. For example, if you are going to be eligible for Medicaid, due to low income on your IRS tax form, will the State be able to place you in their managed care program, or will you have to go fee-for-service Medicaid? This is important, because at present most doctors don't accept Medicaid and you'll have trouble finding a provider. Little unimportant details like that.
Otherwise, it's a great place to start.
