Federal Health Care Reform
President Obama signed comprehensive health reform, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 on March 30, 2010. As part of our efforts to keep the Health and Human Services Policy Committee informed of implementation activity both in Washington, D.C., and in California, CSAC will be producing periodic fact sheets on the major provisions of the bills that are of interest to counties. If you would like to receive these materials via email, contact fmcdaid@counties.org.
