Health Care Reform – The Affordable Care Act of 2010
Your issue of NAELA Journal is now online. You don’t have to wait to receive your copy in the mail to start reading now.
This issue is devoted to coverage of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) and how health care reform will affect Elder and Special Needs Law attorneys and their clients. The ACA is controversial, but many of its reforms are already having an impact. NAELA Journal Editor-in-Chief Bill Brisk has this to say about the issue:
This issue of NAELA Journal represents one of the most ambitious projects we have undertaken. Even if these reforms are revised or whittled down in appropriations and, indeed, even if their mandatory insurance provisions are declared unconstitutional, Elder and Special Needs Law Attorneys need to understand how the laws will change how medical care in the United States will be financed in the future.
