NEW YORK, May 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Following last week’s announcement seeking feedback from healthcare professionals, the American Health Council has received a significant number of replies regarding the repeal of Obamacare. Due to the immense public response, the organization has extended its deadline for submissions to May 22nd, 2017.
The American Health Council is concerned with how the repeal of the Affordable Care Act may impact the administrators, educators, practitioners and researchers serving America’s patient population. Arguably, these individuals are most directly affected by modifications to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may very well be those serving on the front lines.
Beyond continuous public opinion polls and news correspondents weighing in on the fate of Obamacare, the organization is focused on publishing feedback from those directly impacted by potential regulatory changes — healthcare professionals. Specifically, the AHC is currently seeking opinions on the following:
- What components of the ACA do you find most beneficial to American healthcare?
- What changes would you choose to make to Obamacare?
- How can healthcare professionals better prepare for the inevitability of upcoming changes?
Opinion pieces are welcome from all segments of the healthcare industry — administration, biotechnology, education, finance, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and research. Please restrict submissions to 1,000 words or less. The American Health Council will be reviewing and aggregating these pieces for a future publication. Submissions, or portions thereof, will be republished by the American Health Council across its networking, publishing, and social media platforms.
Please send submissions to op-ed@americanhealthcouncil.org
