The Reform Theme Overview Panel
Doctors Flores, Pugno and Herman will present the thesis that PPACA, the Patient Protection and Accountable Care Act, contains elements that will advance other long-term objectives of health care reformers.
Many such reforms have been advocated by those who have participated in the National Conferences on Primary Health Care Access. [See 24th National Conference: the Potential for Primary Healthcare Improvements as a Result of Reform Legislation.]
