J Am Coll Radiol. 2012 Dec;9(12):877-80. doi: 10.1016/j.jacr.2012.09.009.

Abstract

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is comprehensive reform and by virtue of its comprehensiveness can be cumbersome to read and understand. This short piece is a succinct and irreverent glance at PPACA. The piece starts with a question and ends with the same question: Will PPACA break the iron triangle?
