ASK THE EXPERTS: Federal Healthcare Reform

Question: Will federal healthcare reform jeopardize the market for healthcare collections?

Answer: (from Michael Klozotsky, Analyst, Kaulkin Ginsberg)
Despite last week’s announcement that Congress will not take action on federal healthcare reform legislation prior to the August 7th recess, a bill to overhaul the nations healthcare system is all but assured before the end of the year. Will efforts to establish a public insurance plan, contain costs, and revamp access to and the quality of patient care impact the ARM industry? Undoubtedly. Will those effects be detrimental? Not necessarily.
