The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Question
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (along with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010) is the health care legislation currently being implemented. Without getting into the politics of the debate that has surrounded this legislation, consider the main provisions of the law and the issues it is trying to address. Research at least two of the central economic and/or social issues, for example, the cost of health care for the uninsured that historically has been transferred to those who are insured. Discuss how the law addresses these issues and provide your perspective on whether or not the solution the law provides is likely to be effective.
