abstract: With the election settled, the Obama administration has forged ahead with a draft rule on essential benefits and other provisions under the Affordable Care Act. Key players are still digesting the proposals, but HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, left, says she's confident that the new rules-and an extended deadline related to exchanges-will give states what they need to implement the law.
