| Publisher Description: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the most far-reaching legislation of this generation. Yet, every section of its 2,000 double-spaced pages is designed to answer a single question: "How do we create a health care system that includes every citizen and improves health outcomes while controlling costs?" Understand this complex law-including those aspects that have not been adequately covered by the media and hence are not widely known--and see how you are personally affected. Equally important, learn about creating public policy that serves the common good. See how the ACA reforms build on the existing components of our health care system, fill in the gaps, and provide for continuous improvement. Learn how the new law is taking hold and transforming the entire system of health care in America for the better. Yes, we are expanding coverage, saving lives, and controlling costs. The ACA is working Learn about the health care systems of other countries. Look at the moral issues embedded in this debate. Understand glitches and shortcomings. Examine the Republican response and alternative. After decades of political struggle, America now has a working plan to manage our health care system-the Affordable Care Act. But an informed and vigilant citizenry is essential to track implementation, support strategic adjustments when needed, and prevent the law from being co-opted by special interests. |
