When President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law on March 23, 2010, few would have predicted what happened in the following year. Opposition to the law has led to Republican gains in Congress, a House vote to repeal it, and two federal courts striking down part or all of the law as unconstitutional. At this special half-day conference, being held one year after the House of Representatives passed the law, health care experts will debate how the law has already affected America’s health care sector, labor markets, and the federal budget, and what impact it will have in the future. In addition, constitutional scholars will debate the merits of the two dozen legal challenges that have been brought against the law and their likelihood of success before the Supreme Court.
