\nThe Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), or \u201cObamacare\u201d
\nfor short, a piece of legislation birthed in controversy and plagued by
\na difficult rollout, is still poorly understood and received by many
\nAmericans. Some have a vague idea of what is in the law, but very little
\ncomprehension of how the various parts were designed to function
\ntogether or how those parts affect particular individuals. Many also
\ndon\u2019t understand the health insurance exchange concept or how to \u201cshop\u201d
\nfor insurance that is compliant with the law and still affordable. That
\nprocess is further complicated by the decision of many states to opt out
\nof building their own state-based health insurance exchanges or
\nimplement a largely Obamacare-funded expansion of Medicaid to cover the
\nuninsured who don\u2019t make enough to purchase ACA-compliant plans and
\naren\u2019t Medicaid-eligible under current state-specific criteria. Due to

\nimpacts and effects of the law to date on states and their citizens? Why
\nor why not? Explain.How do you think the changes in healthcare delivery and
\nreimbursement brought on by Obamacare, in conjunction with the
\nwidespread use of EHRs and the growing capacity for EHRs to meaningfully
\nexchange health information between providers\/practices\/hospitals and
\nfederal agencies, will impact or change the health information manager\u2019s
