States are currently deciding whether to implement the Medicaid expansion and are working to establish the new insurance apparatus - known as the health insurance exchange - that supports the centerpiece of the new law, the individual mandate to purchase health insurance. These groundbreaking provisions go into effect on January 1, 2014. Meanwhile, changes to Medicare under the ACA call for increased care coordination. The new health reform provisions will have profound implications for social workers and the clients they serve. This slide deck helps social workers understand the challenges and the opportunities presented by the ACA by explaining the key provisions of the law and suggesting steps that social workers can take to advance the role of the profession to fulfill of the aims of the ACA.
