California Area OfficeThe Affordable Care Act and the Indian Health Service
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as the health care law, was created to expand access to coverage, control health care costs, and improve health care quality and coordination. The ACA also includes permanent reauthorization of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, which extends current law and authorizes new programs and services within the Indian Health Service.
On this page, you can find links and resources to information about the Affordable Care Act acquired through email correspondence from the IHS and HHS Director's, and pamphlets, brochures and applications to help you learn more about this law.
