Just hours before House Republicans released their long-awaited Affordable Care Act (ACA) replacement bill, Patricia Salber, MD, MBA, of The Doctor Weighs In, and Nathan Bays, general counsel and executive director at the Health Management Academy, discussed what was expected to be included in the final bill.
