Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Abstract

The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), popularly known as ObamaCare, is the most important piece of health-care legislation since President Johnson signed Medicare into law in 1965. The ACA seeks to enroll every American in a health-care plan. Pediatric dental care is an essential health benefit included in the ACA. More importantly, the ACA sets the stage for a more inclusive health system that is accountable, transparent, measures quality, and strives to be cost efficient. The ACA supports innovation in the health-care workforce and in health-care delivery. Dentists who elect to stand by the wayside to continue business as usual will soon find themselves marginalized and irrelevant.
