Health care reforms kicking in

It will be a busy year for health care reform, as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as the Affordable Care Act, continues to reshape America's health care system. It became law in 2010.

"The broad consensus is that we need to move away from an outdated fee-for-service system that rewards volume and toward a system where doctors and hospitals are rewarded for improving quality, value and health outcomes," says Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for America's Health Insurance Plans, or AHIP, an industry trade group.
