Answer:
1. What do you think is/are the problem(s) that the Affordable Care Act was aiming to solve. What is your assessment of how the ACA did at addressing the problem(s) you identified? And what reforms would you suggest? There is no right or wrong answer. Just think critically and creatively. What do you think is missing in the ACA? Or would you suggest something else entirely?
2. Think back to previous weeks. How does last week’s readings on politics and public opinion connect to the process and challenges of healthcare reform efforts? What does the influence of politics and public opinion mean for the ability of our system to address health disparities and social determinants of health?

3.When you respond to someone else’s original post: What do you think would be the effect of the suggestion(s) in the original post? What questions do you think need to be answered? What could be the unintended consequences?
