With the signing of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in March 2010, access to affordable and effective health care changed dramatically for low-income people nationwide. Legal aid programs face thousands of potential new applicants for health-related services and join clients in the critical need to understand the changes made by the law and how states implement these changes.

The National Health Law Training will provide an overview of key provisions of the ACA and their impact on low-income people and will discuss new advocacy challenges resulting from ACA for the legal services community. It will also highlight the serious impact of state fiscal crises on the implementation of the new law and variation of state approaches.

Continuing Legal Education Credits (CLE): NLADA has applied for continuing legal education (CLE) credits in most states that have mandatory CLE requirements. CLE forms, instruction and a list of accrediting states will be included in the onsite registration packets.
