Healthcare reform gained a foothold with passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in March of 2010. And yet, the process of reform will unfold over many years. As provisions within the ACA are implemented, and as other initiatives evolve, it is an interesting and challenging time to be in the industry. This module looks at the main aspects of healthcare reform set forth by the Affordable Care Act, including expanding access to insurance coverage, closing the Medicare Part D coverage gap, and improving transparency between the industry and physicians. The module also explores the implications of these reforms for the pharmaceutical industry.
