Health-Care Reform Debate
With passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, American medicine has entered a new era. The AGA was an active participant in the health-care reform debate and supports increased access for the millions of uninsured patients in the U.S. However, there remain serious concerns with many provisions of this legislation and how they will impact gastroenterology.
The AGA will keep members updated on the process and provide tools to help gastroenterologists adjust in the new health-care environment.
