  17. What Does Health Care Reform Mean to JSFC • Health reform legislation is not scheduled for implementation until 2014 and even when the full implementation is complete (2019), free clinics will remain necessary for America’s uninsured! • Signs indicate that some 23 million Americans will still lack insurance in 2019, after key provisions of the law have been in effect for as long as five or six years, according to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimate. • The bill expands Medicaid to 133% of the federal poverty level. (JSFC Serves Individuals 200% of poverty level. •  Implementation (i.e. health insurance requirements for all legal Americans) will start in 2014 and the expectation is that full implementation will take place in 2019. • No public option is included in this bill. • The bill restricts access to health insurance through the Health Insurance Exchange to U.S. citizens and legal immigrants. • Individuals will be allowed to opt out of health care coverage and accept a sliding scale penalty.  -   • Small employers are exempt from mandatory coverage.
