Affordable Care Act Reflection

As I’m coming to the twilight of my undergraduate degree at Charter Oak Stat College, I’ve chosen to write about the Affordable care act so I can better understand the reality of today’s healthcare system from the facilities, providers and patients point of view. I feel understanding this information will help me create an environment that can adapt and accelerate through the transition due to the affordable healthcare act’s broad impact on healthcare as it was once known and practiced. I feel whether I move forward as a nurse, provider or administrator, this information will be invaluable.

The implementation of the affordable care act has created many safety nets through credentialing from government agencies, insurance companies to national

private organizations. Overall the price of providing care has increased and the quality of care received has stayed the same or worsened depending on the spectrum of one’s income status and their ability to pay and the overall economy of an area.
I have reached out to administrators for guidance and I’m finding it difficult to speak to Healthcare administrators and providers due to the sensitive nature of change the affordable care act has created during transitioning. I was surprised to hear back from Dr. Grubber of MIT, who is considered the architect of the Affordable Care Act through his economic theory. Here’s a quote that I imagine would fit if the old healthcare practice could reflect when comparing it to the new system.
Warren Buffett- "Well, it may be all right in practice, but it will never work in theory." -- Warren Buffett on how the academic community regards his investment approach.
If any of my fellow students have access to a healthcare administrator that would like to guide or direct a future healthcare professional please forward me their information.
