Newsmakers looks at the Affordable Care Act and how it will impact health consumers. In the second half of the program, we continue the discussion about the Affordable Care Act with Dr. Roberta Riportella, a health policy specialist for UW Extension.
Note: Following the broadcast of this show, Roberta Riportella asked we post the following clarification to comments she made during the program: “Independent insurance agents are likely to be among the pool of supported ‘navigators,’ a new role that CMS is trying to support in communities. All navigators may help consumers purchase insurance but yes, likely through the Exchanges.”
