President Barack Obama began meeting with prominent Democrats in early January to develop a strategy to keep his signature domestic policy, the Affordable Care Act, intact in the hands of a new administration. Vice President-elect Mike Pence and Republican Congressional leaders have been strategizing and meeting since the election to develop an alternative to the ACA. With both parties gearing up for a political showdown after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, where does this leave the innovative population health projects many EMS agencies have been developing since the passage of the ACA?
