There are so many changes happening today with health care. Consumers are overwhelmed with changes, and politicians and news mongers are jumping on the wagon with politically-charged positioning and commentary.

As students in health care, you are learning, in your text, about the structure of health care in the United States, but as you may have already figured out, some of the information in your text may be outdated or changed ( this is always the case with health care!).

If you come across a current article, news clips or other information pertaining to the current health care environment (e.g. ACA), please feel free to post with your own analysis and opinion (must be within the last six months).
