An eBook original on the Affordable Care Act and what it means for all of us—from the author of Deadly Spin.

In 2014, the most important consumer protections in ObamaCare (the Affordable Care Act) go into effect, but according to pollsters, few Americans know that. As many as 40 percent of Americans believe the law either has been repealed or declared unconstitutional. Of those who are aware it is still on the books, the number of Americans who believe the law will do more harm than good continues to exceed those who believe it will be helpful.

With both supporters and opponents of the law poised to launch massive campaigns in the coming weeks to influence public opinion about it, there is a need for “news-you-can-use” types of resources from credible third parties.

Enter Wendell Potter, author of Deadly Spin and former health insurance executive. Obamacare: What's in It for Me? is the authoritative source for Americans needing to know how the law will affect them and their families: How will it affect the millions of Americans who already have coverage through their employers? People who work for small companies that don’t offer coverage? The unemployed? People who are in their 20s, 30s and 40s, some of whom may find that coverage costs them more than before? Older Americans not yet eligible for Medicare, many of whom will be able to get much more affordable coverage? Medicare beneficiaries? Low-to moderate income individuals and families? People with pre-existing conditions? Children?

As the media frenzy over this hot political issue ramps up, Wendell Potter is perfectly positioned to explain to a wide audience, hungry for the real story (without the spin), of just what this health care overhaul means for all of us.

Wendell Potter is a senior fellow on health care for the Center for Media and Democracy. He is the author of Deadly Spin: An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR is Killing Health Care and Deceiving Americans. He is a native of Tennessee.
