Policy Workshop: Implementing the ACA

The Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (ACA) was the defining and polarizing law of the Obama era. While its provisions to expand health insurance coverage, control costs, and improve the health care delivery system have made measurable improvements in the health care system and the experience of consumers, many challenges remain with the law and its structure. The workshop focuses on the policy, operational and political challenges of the ACA and future coverage and delivery system reforms. A core focus is the role that states play in the management of their health care systems.
