The new federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, (collectively, the "Act") impacts many practice areas beyond health law. Whether your practice involves employment, tax, elder, disability, consumer, or family law, you need to know about the sweeping changes introduced by health care reform-the implications for clients extend far beyond health care law. Do you know how the nuances of the new Act impact your practice?
