In March 2010 President Obama signed both the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act into law. These two laws will dramatically affect the health insurance system and the delivery of care in America. While not perfect, many of the components of the law will benefit millions of Americans, especially the vulnerable populations served by foundations. This article will share the activities and plans of the Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) related to effectively implementing health reform. It demonstrates positive steps that a foundation can take when it elects to contribute to the implementation process for the benefit of its target population.
