This coming Monday, Palatine residents will be given the chance to learn more about recent health care initiatives that affect them and their families.
A representative from the U. S. Health and Human Services Department will discuss the Affordable Health Care Act, which was signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010.

If I cannot be there to ask, I'd love to know how to get a company on the waiver list. It says here that cases are being reviewed "case by case" which usually means there are other factors we do not know about or are not published.
As of December, these are business who will be excempt. You will not exactly hear this discussed in the typical media like the bill passage was, as this seems to be a favor list.
