Katie Keith Throws an ACA Birthday Party

This episode is sponsored by the Rural Health Research Gateway at the University of North Dakota.

March 23 marked the 12th anniversary of the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

This landmark legislation expanded health care access to millions of Americans and accelerated changes in how we organize and pay for health care. Having survived numerous legal challenges and strong political opposition by some, it continues to be the centerpiece of domestic health policy.

If you want to understand the evolution of the Affordable Care Act from enactment to today, there's no one better to learn from than Katie Keith of the Georgetown University Law Center.

Keith is a regular contributor to Health Affairs' Following The ACA Forefront article series and the recently launched Health Reform newsletter. Most recently, she's written about the No Surprises Act rules, the Department of Health & Human Services response to anti-trans youth policies, delay of the Sunset Rule, and much more.

Today on A Health Podyssey, Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil and Katie Keith dive into the latest ACA news and explore the law's successes, shortcomings, and unfinished work.
