In March 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. What does the bill actually do? In this brief video highlight from The Atlantic Philanthropies' recent event, “The Historic Passage of Health Care Reform,” Judy Feder of Georgetown University and the Center for American Progress gives a primer to what’s in the bill and what it means for people living in the United States.
This is one of four video highlights from the event. Video of the full panel, including audience questions, is posted here. The videos are part of Atlantic's online forum, Lessons Learned from Health Care Reform, here, with reflections from ten leading voices on health care reform.
