Implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is happening quickly across the country and important decisions are being made about the new health system for low-income people.  

Today, as part of our education and technical support for low-income advocates, NHeLP launches its first Health Reform Advocacy Webinar Series on the provisions and implementation of PPACA.  NHeLP's Health Reform Advocacy Webinar Series will provide advocates with important information on how health reform will affect vulnerable people and where advocates’ voices need to be heard.  NHeLP lawyers will explain important provisions of the new law, discuss issues that are already arising, and will provide insights and some suggested solutions to the challenges health care reform presents.  The series is aimed toward legal services, disability rights, and pro bono counsel who are working with low-income people.

NHeLP's first Health Reform Advocacy Webinar Series is presented in five parts and provides introductory and overview information, while at the same time delving into detail on selected provisions.
