THE EARLY BENEFITS

The wingers are pushing a new meme about the health care reform - the taxes begin on Day One but the benefits don't start until 2014. MediaMatters found two lists of benefits that start before then:
According to a document released by Senate Democrats summarizing the "Immediate Benefits" of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the bill included numerous benefits that would "be available in the first year after enactment" of the bill. Indeed, Washington Post writer Ezra Klein published a list of benefits that the Senate bill would provide "before 2014."
