The ABCs of the ACA, AHCA, BCRA, and Health Care in Maryland at #MACoCon

The future of the American health care system is in flux.

On March 23, 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), a significant regulatory overhaul of the nation’s healthcare system, was signed into law. The law was not without controversy and bumps on its road to implementation, but has been in place for the past seven years.  In May of this year, the United States House of Representatives passed the American Health Care Act (AHCA) which would repeal significant portions of the ACA and institute other regulatory reforms. Unsatisfied with the bill passed by the House, the United States Senate drafted its own healthcare bill, the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) which has yet to be voted on.

What does this all mean for the American health care system? Where do these bills stand now? How do these bills impact Maryland and her counties? Attend the MACo Summer Conference session “The ABCs of the ACA, AHCA, BCRA, and Health Care in Maryland” to find out.
