Jonathan Oberlander, PhD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill professor of health policy and management in the Gillings School of Global Public Health, analyzes the effect of the 2010 elections on health care reform in the Nov. 17 online issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. “It is clear that the fight over health care reform is far from over,” Oberlander writes in his perspective, titled “Beyond Repeal – The Future of Health Care Reform.”
Oberlander says that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), enacted just last March, will face many legislative, administrative and legal challenges.
“The partisan divide on health care is, if anything, widening, while an unstable political environment presents risks and opportunities for both Democrats and Republicans,” he says.
Oberlander is a frequent contributor to NEJM, analyzing the impact of various health care reform proposals throughout the 20th and current centuries. Other perspectives by Oberlander are available on the journal’s website, www.nejm.org.
