Health Reform: A Summary of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Act”) is arguably the most sweeping legislation impacting the health insurance and health services industries in United States history. While some argue that the legislation does not go far enough in reform, others argue that it has gone too far: Will the Act lead to a single payer system? Will the projected cost savings materialize?
