ACA Update by Health Economist Paul Keckley

Five years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law. And today, we have Navigant’s Paul Keckley looking at the goals of the law and discussing what’s working and what’s ahead for the ACA.

So Is It Working?

• Has it increased access to coverage? Yes, at least for some, and at least for now.
• Has it reduced costs? It’s too soon to know.
• Has it improved the public’s understanding of the U.S. health system? Regrettably no.

What’s Ahead?

• The stakes in the states are higher
• The winners and losers are shaking out
• Innovators with value-driven solutions are disrupting the status quo
• The ACA will be a spotlight issue in Campaign 2016
