McKinney School of Law Research Paper No. 2012-31 Abstract: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, has made many changes in the Medicare program as part of comprehensive health reform for the US health care sector.

The article evaluates the current efforts of the Medicare program to reduce Medicare expenditures. The article concludes with an assessment of the potential effectiveness of these reforms to bend the proverbial cost curve and make the Medicare program sustainable over the long term.
