October brings alive some divergent topics, including evolving changes in national health care reform, Cardinals baseball playoffs and the onset of the National Hockey League season. <\/p>\n
This Sunday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch offers two excellent special sections that provide deep information: one for consumers trying to make sense of changes that affect millions of Americans and another one for those who have longed for action on the ice. <\/p>\n
St. Louis Blues diehards hope that some new faces on an already gritty team playing under a new divisional alignment will vault them toward the teams first Stanley Cup championship. <\/p>\n
And October in St. Louis means postseason baseball for the Cardinals. As is our tradition, the Post-Dispatch will supply the most comprehensive and informed coverage of the Cardinals playoff run for every step of their journey. In print, online or through social media, the Post-Dispatch stable of writers, columnists and photographers is unrivaled. <\/p>\n
But first, health care reform. <\/p>\n
Ongoing passionate debates in Congress about Obamacare and the Tuesday start date for some people to sign up for health insurance exchanges have thrust the concept of health care reform into Americas living rooms. <\/p>\n
But the Post-Dispatch has been steeped in covering health care reform long before this fall. <\/p>\n
A great team has collaborated to produce the 12-page guide Navigating Health Care in this Sunday edition and to launch a special website, MoHealthReport.com, which showcases our staff coverage, online blogs, columns, editorials, commentary and national health care stories all aggregated into one easily accessible site. <\/p>\n
Health care-related coverage also is assembled each Monday through Friday under a free email newsletter, which readers can subscribe to at MoHealthReport.com. It focuses on distilling complex topics and insights into news developments as they unfold. The Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, aka Obamacare, rolls out fully next year, but changes and impacts on consumers nationwide are well under way. <\/p>\n
The team of Post-Dispatch writers includes Virginia Young, the Capitol bureau chief in Jefferson City; Jim Doyle, the health care industry reporter on the Business staff; Metro Desk medical and health reporter Blythe Bernhard; Jim Gallagher, a Business reporter and columnist; Walker Moskop, a Metro reporter and data specialist; and Tara Kulash, a reporter and blogger for MoHealthReport.com. <\/p>\n
