March 2010 Law

Impact of PPACA on Americans and America

PPACA is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,
signed into law by President Obama in March 2010

• How It Will Help
  • Some millions of Americans will feel like it helped them get better access to U.S. health care
• How It Will Hurt
  • It will increase the cost of health care instead of achieving the primary objective stated by President Obama that we need to reduce the cost health care
