Health Care Changes Affect Elderly Clients

Rebecca C. Morgan (Boston Asset Management Faculty Chair in Elder Law and Director of the Center for Excellence in Elder Law, Stetson University College of Law), Bradley J. Frigon (attorney, Denver, CO), and Stuart D. Zimring (attorney, North Hollywood, CA) recently published their article entitled What Elder Law Attorneys Need to Know About the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 2010 Emerging Issues, 7 J. Nat’l College of Prob. Judges 5 (Fall 2010). The conclusion is below:

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is extensive, with a significant number of provisions. This article summarizes a few of the more significant changes affecting elderly clients. Expect regulations to be issued frequently as the changes are implemented, some already available, some to be issued soon, and some releasing over the next few years, until all provisions of the PPACA are implemented.
