The Affordable Care Act (ACA) included many provisions important to HIV patients and HIV care providers that will be implemented over the next decade. Some provisions that went into effect at the time of the law’s passage, and others that will be implemented in various stages over the next decade.

Many of the provisions of the law are being implemented at the state level. This gives the states broad power to determine how the requirements and provisions of the ACA will be fulfilled and organized in each state. State lawmakers are currently determining many important facets of how the law will be implemented.

Two of the most important provisions left up to the states to determine, are the Medicaid Expansion, and the establishment of the new individual and small group State Insurance Exchanges. Learn more about the Affordable Care Act in our National Issues section.
