520 "This is the first reference book to provide a detailed
assessment of the Affordable Care Act, explaining the
realities and myths surrounding one of the most divisive
political struggles in recent U.S. history. Uses
nonpartisan sources of information that include studies
and reports to assess the claims, beliefs, and assumptions
about Obamacare Draws from credible research sources--such
as the Center for Disease Control and the Government
Accounting Office--to question or uphold beliefs Provides
an evidence-based examination of dozens of the most
prominent claims about the Affordable Care Act"-- Provided
by publisher.
520 "Few laws have generated as much intense emotional and
ongoing controversy as the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (ACA). The law is the culmination of a
hundred years of debate, discussion, and attempts at
offering near-universal coverage in the United States.
Lessons learned from the past, fleeting political
majorities, and new policy imperatives to improve quality
and reduce ever-rising costs created an opportune policy
window in 2009-2010 to pass one of the most expansive -
and potentially impactful - pieces of social legislation
in our nation's history. However, the very reasons that
made health reform necessary and so difficult to pass are
also the same reasons that the ACA has divided the nation
- both politically and culturally"-- Provided by
publisher.
