Boston, MA — The future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is far from certain. A group of Republicans unveiled recently the Graham-Cassidy bill, which represents the latest attempt by the GOP to repeal the ACA. For their part, Democrats organized a news conference to announce a single-payer health care proposal. As the parties and the public grapple with these latest plans, another hurdle for the ACA looms. With open enrollment beginning on November 1, questions remain about the stability of the ACA insurance exchange marketplace, particularly around the fate of cost-sharing subsidies and other factors that affect enrollment, affordability and access to varied plans. This Forum will bring together health and public policy experts from across diverse perspectives to look at what’s next for the Affordable Care Act. What can Americans expect and where does health care reform go from here?
