On July 24th, 2012 the AAMC hosted a one-day "Fly-in meeting" in Chicago, IL to discuss a variety of urgent topics pertinent to AAMC members. Multiple presentations and discussions occurred during the short visit. Below is the official short summary of the meeting, as well as summary PDF documents finalized following the conclusion of the meeting.
"The meeting considered what’s next in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision on the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Discussion centered around whether states:
(1) will expand their Medicaid coverage to 133% of the Federal Poverty Level (mandated by the ACA but now voluntary because of the Supreme Court’s decision) and
(2) are likely to establish Health Insurance Exchanges (HIE).
Under the law, if a state chooses not to establish an HIE, the Federal Government will do so. During the meeting, there also was a review of the many challenges that face the country on the economic front, including sequestration, the expiration of the Bush Administration taxes, the expiration of the payroll tax holiday, and more. The attached Power Points were used to kick-off the discussion. The AAMC is considering the types of follow-up that will benefit the membership and will send out information as it becomes available."
