Health-Care Reform: Who is Winning Who is Losing? (Part I)
en-USBy Roy Tutu
“On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. The law puts in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that will roll out over four years and beyond, with most changes taking place by 2014.”
I am guest writing a mini-series examining different aspects of the Act on the blog : Cocacolabuffet: Passion for Stock and Life. Here’s an excerpt from my first write-up on this series:
The Act states that for health plan years beginning on or after September 23, 2010, “All new plans must cover certain preventive services such as mammograms and colonoscopies without charging a deductible, co-pay or coinsurance.”
How does it affect us?
- Consumers can expect that their overall deductible/coinsurance/copays to rise.
- Demand for all devices that helps in preventive care will rise.
- Lower overall health-care burden to the society: less frequent emergency visits and other costly medical procedures.
