Health Care Reform Resources
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 will make significant changes to access, quality and cost in the American health care system. One important aspect of these changes is the expectation of increased consumer and patient engagement in their own health care.
CHMA staff have identified a number of helpful websites which provide information about health care reform. This page will be updated as new resources become available.
