Title

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT for the purpose of expressing the County Council’s strong support for protecting access to quality, affordable health care provided to millions of Americans and thousands of Prince George’s County residents by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

 

Background

An expression of the County Council's support of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is needed because any repeal of this Act  jeopardizes the health of Prince Georgians and Americans as a whole and potentially reduces the financial success of the new University of Maryland Medical System Prince George's County Regional Medical Center.
