The signing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) on March 23, 2010 was a historic moment with great implications for our health care industry. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts understands the importance of evaluating how this law will impact the people of Massachusetts.
Although many of the PPACA's provisions don't go into effect for several years, certain regulations are effective immediately. That's why we're working with local and national lawmakers to make this Information Center your choice for news, timelines, and questions about national health care reform.
