Affordable Care Act Position Paper

You are expected to draft a position statement informed by what you learned from your research on whether the Affordable Care Act is an effective mechanism for reducing the burden of uncompensated care.

Review the document at the link below on how to set up a position paper, including a general outline. Use this to guide your drafting of your paper.
