Abstract

This is the first issue brief in a series published by The Hilltop Institute’s Hospital Community Benefit Program. The brief provides historical background on federal hospital community benefit policy; outlines the new requirements described in the Affordable Care Act (ACA); and identifies new challenges and opportunities for state and federal decision makers as they begin to develop responses to the new federal requirements.
