In All Those Pages, a Surprise or Two

By MICHELLE ANDREWS

Tucked inside the huge health reform bill signed into law last week were many surprising and little-noticed provisions that will affect consumers in ways large and small. It emerged that chain restaurants, for example, would have to disclose the calorie counts of items on their menus. Who knew? Here are some other examples:

TIME FOR MOTHER’S MILK

A TAX ON TANNING

COMING SOON TO W-2 FORMS: HEALTH BENEFITS DETAILS

LESS FLEX IN FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS

STRENGTHENING THE ‘S’ IN H.S.A.

ABSTINENCE MAKES A COMEBACK

NURSING A BOND BETWEEN MOTHER AND CHILD
