Patient Protection
April 19, 2010
Jonathan Cohn rediscovers the Ps in PPACA:
The full name of the health care law is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. And there’s a reason for that “Patient Protection” part: The law also bolsters coverage for those people who have it. It eliminates cost-sharing for preventative services. It imposes a binding appeals process for people who think insurers wrongly denied treatments. It forces insurers to spend more on patient care and less on overhead –and that’s not to mention the many people who pay for insurance now, but will pay less starting in 2014, thanks to the tax credits.
