While attention on the health care overhaul is focused on the public option, it's not the only provision in the 2,000-page bill.

Below are five other things in the bill you may not have heard about.

All of the items below are in the version of the health-care overhaul that passed the House earlier this month.

It's not clear yet if they'll be in the Senate version of the bill (HR 3962 ), but since they are not as central to the debate it's more likely they'll survive.

Sec. 113: Extending COBRA benefits for laid-off workers

The bill would extend COBRA coverage for the recently unemployed. Currently, most workers who are laid off may continue to pay for their health care coverage for up to 18 months. (The law does not apply to small businesses or companies that shut down entirely.) The provision would extend coverage until the health insurance exchange is running, presumably in 2013.

Sec. 440: Funding home visits for young children

The federal government would be authorized to give grants to states to create voluntary home visitation programs for families with young children. Social workers would give tips on "parenting practices" and ways to "enhance age-appropriate development."

Sec. 715: Mandating coverage of reconstructive surgery for children

The bill would require health insurance companies cover reconstructive surgery for children with developmental abnormalities or problems caused by infections, tumors or accident. It would not cover cosmetic surgery done to "improve appearance or self-esteem."

Sec. 1181: Ending the 'doughnut hole' in Medicare Part D

The bill would phase out the coverage gap, or "doughnut hole," created by the Medicare prescription drug program. (Medicare recipients in the gap have to pay for prescription drugs entirely out of pocket for a few months.) Starting next year, it would shrink the gap by $500 and provide a 50 percent discount on brand-name drugs bought while in the gap. By 2019, the gap would be closed entirely.

Sec. 2572: Putting nutrition labels on Twinkies and Big Macs

Any chain restaurant with 20 or more locations would have to post nutrition information on its standard items on the menu and drive-through order sign as well as a statement about how that relates to a typical diet.

And any business that owns or operates 20 or more vending machines would be required to post a sign "in close proximity to each article of food or the selection button" saying how many calories it contains.
