Search the internet for a recent article that discusses healthcare reform key elements (written in the past the 15 months). Since we do not know at this point whether the ACA will remain or will be repealed and replaced, what are 3 key elements that should remain or be introduced into US healthcare reform legislation? For example, children up to the age of 26 being able to remain on their parent’s health insurance or mandates that everyone have healthcare. These are only examples, feel free to discuss any key elements from the readings or your own research. The Modern Healthcare article from your reading is an example of an article discussing the key points of current healthcare reform legislation being introduced in Congress.
