On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the health care reform bill, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Affordable Care Act (ACA), into law.  The Affordable Care Act makes sweeping changes to the U.S. health care system.

For this assignment, I would like you to present on the Affordable Care Act by completing a narrated PowerPoint presentation.  Some of the items to consider including in your presentation include:

– History of the Act (brief, 1-2 slides)

– Major provisions found in the Act.

– Timeline of implementation of the Act.

– Describe the importance of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) found in the Act.
