While it may be too soon to know for sure exactly how it will play out (especially since details will vary from state to state and county to county), there are a few sources with rundowns that are more informed than Uncle Bob's Facebook stream, particularly in relation to how it may affect women.

Lifehacker does a nice job of summarizing the key points of the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act (PPACA) and what it will likely mean to individuals, depending on their current and future circumstances.

Meanwhile, Forbes shares its perspective on how women and children will especially benefit from the Act. It's not just because more of them are currently uninsured; the law will make it illegal for insurance companies to charge women more than men for the same policies (as 90% of them do now) and will require them to cover women's preventive health services like Pap smears, mammograms, and contraception without a co-pay. In addition, children will be able to stay on their parents' healthcare plans until they are 26 regardless of their employment or marital status.

Hmmm. Okay, well, in some cases you might not consider that last one a good thing.
