One of the stated goals of the Affordable Care Act is to make preventive care more accessible and affordable for many Americans. Choose a specific provision of the Affordable Care Act (and make sure to be clear about the provision you’ve chosen - for example, don’t simply say “birth control” because I won’t know what you mean by that) and provide an analysis of how it will help to make preventive care more accessible and affordable for Americans, and what might be the role(s) of the professional nurse (tered Nurses and/or Advanced Practice Nurses) i n implementing this provision.

Please keep in mind that this is NOT an opinion paper (it’s not about whether you agree or disagree with the A CA). It’s an analysis paper, in which you’ll learn more about and analyze a specific provision of the ACA.

Your paper should be w ritten in APA format and include:

? A cover page

? Abstract

? Main body that is 3-4 pages long and includes an introduction with a clear purpose statement and use of headings to help guide the flow of the paper, as well as a summary and conclusion

All references should have been published within the past 5 years.
