Virginia's New Healthcare System: Is It Affordable?

Join Agenda:Alexandria at the inaugural meeting of our
15th anniversary season to consider the impacts of the new federal health care law, "The Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act" of 2010 (PPACA), as thirty million people move from being uninsured to insured. You may also recognize the new law by its less formal nicknames: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) or "Obama-care". 

2013- 2014 bring major implementation events as the

law's various provisions continue to be made effective. Come hear our panelists' perspectives on

how PPACA's rolling out will impact them and you, their Alexandria resident customers.
