Affirmative Action Invades the Health Care Industry
In the health care industry, rapid ' often seismic ' change frequently feels like the norm. Even by that standard, however, in the past year or so, health care providers and others in the industry have felt under siege, due in no small part to the passage of the landmark federal health care reform law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, in March 2010. And it has been easy for hospitals and other health care providers to become fixated on the reform drama that is currently playing out in the halls of Congress, and in ballot boxes and federal courtrooms around the country, all the while scrambling to comply with the law's many provisions scheduled to phase-in over the next several years.
