The passage of the Affordable Care Act in March 2010 marked the beginning of a dramatic transformation of our nation’s health system. Many of the reforms — including a significant expansion of Medicaid to most people up to 133% of the federal poverty level in 2014, huge investments in community health centers, and prevention and public health initiatives — have the potential to dramatically expand access to care for low-income people living with HIV and AIDS. There are also significant challenges presented by health care reform, and we as a community must work to ensure that HIV/AIDS care, treatment, and services are included in health care reform expansions.
