Healthcare reform

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed historic health-care reform legislation into law. A few days later, he signed a second bill containing "fixes" to the original bill.

For more than a year, healthcare was debated vigorously in Congress and across America. While the legislation is now law, some states are challenging its constitutionality.

This page contains many of the Monitor's stories on the health-care issue, debate, and legislation over the last few years, including Peter Grier's groundbreaking series "Healthcare Reform 101."
