“This video is cute, understandable and pretty frank about the problems and concerns many people have with the new law. It also provides a useful summary of what the bill does for everyone in the near-term and in coming years,” according to Senator Warner’s health policy legislative aide Elizabeth Falcone.

Enjoy!
