Photo Credit: Library of Congress
The Affordable Health Care Act was signed into law on March 23, 2010. It put into motion comprehensive health insurance reforms to roll out over four years and beyond. Most changes were in place by 2014.
With the law in place, implementation moved forward, and hundreds of complicated provisions are in effect.
Discuss the current state of the law, considering the ruling of the Supreme Court and the fact that in November of 2018 it continues to be the law of the land; providing health care to millions despite political attempts to destroy it.
Discussion Participation Tips
Quality of Posts
Please make sure you focus on the course and the issues at hand when posting to the discussions. Connect your discussion posts to the literature we are reading, and maintain an academic focus. Relevance, credibility and using referenced material is always important whether in discussion or writing essays. We will be discussing some issues which are polarizing; I expect scholarly discourse and reference to the issues. I expect proper grammar and spelling. This is a minimum requirement. Deviations from this will hurt your grade. I also expect courtesy in discussion. Scholars disagree with each other all the time, and do it politely and with respect. It is better to lean excessively in the direction of courtesy than to have any chance at crossing the line of acceptable discourse.
Quantity of Posts
Your initial post should respond to the prompts and questions posted, typically in at least 250 words. After posting, you should return to this discussion area and post at least two responses to posts made during the remaining week(s) of the module. However, if you want to contribute more responses, please do. Be sure to use APA style to cite sources when putting forth the ideas, opinions, and facts of others.
