"Looking into the Crystal Ball of Health Care Reform: The Affordable Care Act and the Allied Health Professions"
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is the federal statute that was signed into law by President Obama in March 2010. In combination with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, it represents the most significant regulatory reform of the United States’ healthcare system since the passage of the Social Security Act of 1965. This presentation will provide an overview of the primary provisions of President Obama’s 2010 Affordable Care Act, their potential impact on the allied health professions, and the uncertainties and opportunitiesthat lie ahead.
