Abstract:

2016 is an important transition year for the debate over health reform in America. By the time a new President takes office in January 2017, it will have been nearly seven years since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). What comes nextâ?? whether we build on the law or dismantle itâ??will largely depend on the results of this Novemberâ??s elections? I will discuss what is at stake with this election, including what the leading candidates from the two parties say they will do if elected. I will address how these changes are likely to affect primary care providers. I will also present results from a study examining how state leaders have made decisions about whether or not to extend the ACAâ??s temporary increase in Medicaid reimbursement levels for primary care providers.
