Assignment 2: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Consider what you have learned about the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the uninsured population,
health disparities, and programs and policies intended to
improve quality of care and health outcomes, while reducing
healthcare expenditure. Summarize your thoughts on the future
of healthcare given the provisions of the ACA—changes to
Medicare and Medicaid, the individual mandate, etc., and
whether or not current efforts are sufficient to reduce disparities
in healthcare and improve healthcare outcomes.
Tasks:
· Evaluate the impact that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has
and will have on the uninsured population in the U.S.
· Discuss current successes and failures of this act.
· Discuss implications of this act’s successes and failures.
· Explain specific policy changes that could be made to the
ACA to improve its impact on overall health outcomes in the
U.S.
