Chasing the Ghosts of the Affordable Care Act

Almost 14 years ago, President Barack Obama signed into law the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The law survived a series of legal and political challenges during its implementation, but they came at a cost to its initial ambitions. In a forthcoming study, “The Ghosts of the Affordable Care Act,” Miami University Law Professor Gabriel Scheffler examines the enactment-entrenchment trade-offs that limit the scope and durability of major social program legislation. The ACA was never repealed, but significant parts of it were “replaced” or discarded.At this forum, Professor Scheffler will examine the rules of the game that shaped the ACA’s survival and evolution. A panel of veteran health policy practitioners will offer a range of perspectives on how we got here and the implications for future options.Submit questions to [email protected] or on Twitter with #AskAEIHealth.

A light breakfast will be served.
