Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
In April 2010, Congress enacted the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act. Together, the two acts make up what is commonly called the Affordable Care Act . The legislation will have an impact on many Kansans, including individuals and families, senior citizens, employers and health care providers. It will also have a direct effect on programs and services administered by the Division of Health Care Finance. The information here is intended to help inform policymakers and others about the new legislation.
