One of the most debated public policy issues currently<br \/>\nfacing the nation is health care reform. The central piece of legislation is<br \/>\nthe Affordable Care Act. One of the key provisions is the \u201cIndividual Mandate\u201d<br \/>\nprovision of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).<br \/>\nSignificantly, the IM provision was subsequently repealed in December 2017.
