Making the ACA Affordable

Event description
Join us for a panel discussion and knowledge sharing session focused on the impact of the Affordable Care Act across the healthcare industry. The intent of the ACA was to provide more people with affordable health care coverage and as a result, receive improved medical care. However, the transition still requires significant changes to the health care model where expansion of Medicaid and an increase in financial assistance programs remain key to supporting broad implementation.

Panel members representing healthcare plans, healthcare providers, academia and patient perspectives will discuss how these changes drive the way healthcare operates today. In addition, the panel will review progress made to date, more than one year after enacting the ACA and discuss opportunities for improvement.

Learning objectives
1. Gain an understanding of the implementation progress across the industry
2. Develop new perspectives on the impact of the ACA on the shared segments of the healthcare industry
3. Identify areas for improvement in affordable care
