Healthcare Reform Status Update
Healthcare reform became law with the passage of two bills, H.R 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law on March 23, 2010 and the Reconcilation Act of 2010, H.R. 4872, which was signed into law on March 30, 2010.
Many provisions in this bill will take years to develop and implement, but many will take effect immediately or within the year. Click here to view a summary of the changes as a result of federal healthcare reform.
Since 1997, The Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati has invested over $111 million in projects that improve the health of the Cincinnati area. With major healthcare reform imminent, the Health Foundation aims to be a source for credible, timely information that can inform people in our region about the healthcare reform debate. While we do not support any specific plan or approach, we do support certain principles that we believe would improve access to healthcare and make our region healthier.
The Health Foundation supports a healthcare system that:
- IS FOR ALL and
- Is a coordinated system that preserves choice
- Provides access to affordable insurance coverage
- Provides access to appropriate healthcare services
- Encourages and rewards quality care, and
- Has broad financing and cost controls
