Health Care Reform Resource Center
Health care reform legislation is now complete. Nearly all individuals and businesses will be affected and will be dealing with new challenges. Some of these challenges are immediate, some long term. The impact to providers and insurance companies will be deep, since for many of them, reform means a change in how they’ll do business.
To help Grant Thornton clients seize opportunities created by the stimulus plan and stay up to date on emerging health care reform developments, Grant Thornton has assembled a nationwide health care reform team, led by Anne McGeorge, national managing partner, Health Care practice. This multidisciplinary team of experts can help your organization address today’s challenges and devise a long-term strategy for tomorrow.
Latest development:
Congress Passes Massive Health Care Reform Using Two Bills
Congress has passed the most sweeping health care reform measures since the enactment of Medicare in 1965 using two separate bills – the Senate’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590) from December 2009, and the House’s recent Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) H.R. 4872 modifies a number of provisions in H.R. 3590. The president signed H.R. 3590 into law on March 23 and it is now Public Law 111-148. Together, the bills will extend health coverage to 32 million people. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the legislation will cost approximately $940 billion over 10 years, while reducing the federal deficit.
