Introduction
This guide provides research resources for healthcare administration research.
For research, analyze and interpret information from evidence-based, peer-reviewed articles on two key aspects of the Affordable Care Act: 1) the Essential Health Benefits (EHBs) required by insurance plans and 2) the impact of EHBs on healthcare premiums after the ACA was implemented.
Use evidence-based or peer-reviewed research articles to find details on how these benefits are required for different types of insurance plans and if inclusion of EHBs improved healthcare coverage.
Review studies and research that compares premium prices before and after the ACA to determine how the new coverage requirements affect premiums. What factors contributed to premium increases?

See chapter 18: The Affordable Care Act: An Uncertain Future byCarole B. Myers- The Affordable Care Act by Responsibility for the inequitable and costly US health system is widely shared among all players. This book by a Professor of Medicine with 30 years of teaching and clinical experience analyzes the situation and proposes a solution that, just like the problem, will rely on all parties in a bid to endow America with an equitable and affordable universal health system.The U.S. offers a high standard of 'medical care' few countries can match. Indeed, most medical innovations originate in the U.S. and are adopted more widely and sooner than elsewhere, the FDA ensures the efficacy and safety of drugs, biological products, and medical devices, and health professionals are well trained, knowledgeable, and responsible. Yet, despite 'Best in the World' claims in some American quarters, the U.S. 'health system ' lags behind those of many industrialized countries in access, quality of care, and affordability. It is best characterized as a non-system that denies access to millions of Americans and drives millions more into bankruptcy.Unlike politically correct books that shun controversial issues, this book offers an objective, factual, and forthright critique of all segments of the current and projected health system under America's Affordable Care Act. It shows that responsibility for the inequitable and costly health system rests on caregivers and consumers, insurance and drug companies, malpractice attorneys, and even policy makers whose self-interest must be subordinated to the general good in order to curb the profit-driven health industry they helped create and endow America with an affordable and equitable universal health system responsive to its citizens' healthcare needs while remaining even-handed to providers and suppliers, as proposed in the last chapter.Call Number: EbookISBN: 9780875869766Publication Date: 2013
