Article Source: Talking Points MemoStarting Saturday, two of the new health care law's most significant reforms take effect -- or at least begin to take effect.
The first will dramatically clamp down on insurance industry waste, abuse, and excesses. Starting on New Year's Day, insurance companies will have to spend at least 80 percent of the revenues they receive from premiums on actual health care. Not on salaries or overhead.

Add them to other reforms that have already taken effect -- such as a ban on discriminating against children with pre-existing conditions, and the new right parents have of keeping their children on their family insurance plans until they're 26 years old -- and you're talking about a bunch of stuff that would be very unpopular to repeal.
Some stuff starts to take effect and some things start getting defunded until we can repeal it all in 2013 or until SCOTUS shoots it down.

I've had individual coverage since 2008. One daughter was denied coverage and has been under my state's high risk pool for a mild problem. As of Nov 1st, we now have coverage together.
