What Happened at the April DCNF Meeting ?

 

Health Care Reform is the topic of Monday, April 18, monthly meeting of the Democratic Club of North Florida.

 

Kenneth Brummel-Smith, M.D., gave an insightful summary on the first anniversary of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), what it provides and what will be lost if the court rules it unconstitutional.

Dr Brummel-Smith's analysis was that the PPACA was a much needed first step in the right direction and provides many new protections for patients and needed and rational reforms to Medicare and Medicaid. He recommended the following web site for good info on the PPACA.

Personally I learned a number of good provisions in the law I was unaware of, like provisions to train many new general practitioners, (GPs).
