On Track with ACA: Affordable Care Act Updates

On March 23, 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law. As we all know, this new law has a significant impact on the health care industry with the implementation of many different provisions that will transform the way health care is delivered in this country. The changes brought about by health care reform and ACA will provide significant challenges and opportunities for the health care industry.

The key goals of ACA are to expand health care coverage to approximately 29 million Americans using existing means and programs, to remove barriers to coverage and to address affordability issues. Provisions in the law address specific issues related to these goals, including private market reforms, the establishment of public exchanges, individual and employer mandates, delivery system reforms, Medicare reforms and Medicaid expansions.

Going forward, we will share information about ACA and its possible effect on the health care industry, you and your patients. Go to the Affordable Care Act where you will find an overview of a number of ACA provisions, as well as links to external resources regarding health care reform.
