Health Reform Resource Center
In March, 2010, President Barack Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) and a package of amendments under the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (“HCERA”)—known together as the Affordable Care Act. This legislation marks an historic reform of the United States health care system, providing coverage to millions of Americans, and authorizing sweeping changes to the health insurance industry and delivery system.
