For the past several years, a prominent topic of discussion within the roundtable has been the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA has multiple provisions specific to race, ethnicity, and language and other provisions with significant implications for racially and ethnically diverse populations. In April 2013, the roundtable held a workshop to address many issues surrounding the ACA, including expansion of coverage, delivery systems, and access points, service delivery and payment reform, public-private partnerships, and challenges to the safety net. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop Notes Title from PDF title page Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes This activity was supported by a contract and grants between the National Academy of Sciences and Aetna Foundation (12-03699); Connecticut Health Foundation; Kaiser Permanente Program Offices Community Benefit II at the East Bay Community Foundation (20121256); The Kresge Foundation (245367); Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
