Fate Of The Affordable Care Act Dominates Health Care Policy Agenda In 2017

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest -- Newswire/ -- It's no secret that Republicans are champing at the bit to quickly repeal the Affordable Care Act, but the path that will take, and how long it will take, are uncertain, according to Bloomberg BNA's 2017 Health Care Outlook. The special report takes a sweeping view of health care policy issues likely to dominate 2017, including potential Medicaid reform and the transition to the Trump administration, which will usher in a new cadre of agency leaders. The outlook is available on Bloomberg Law and a complimentary copy is online at http://on.bna.com/gjOA307GUV8 (see also Bloomberg Bna).

"There is near unanimous agreement among health policy observers that there will be massive impacts to the industry when the Trump administration, which has a Republican-controlled Congress on Capitol Hill, takes office," said Lisa Rockelli, News Director, Health Care, Bloomberg BNA. "Dominating the agenda is the fate of the ACA, and Congress and the White House have a herculean task ahead of them to figure out a way forward to repeal the law or excise the elements of the ACA they find most objectionable while keeping insurance coverage for the approximately 20 million Americans covered by the law."
