EXPERT ON PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT

As the U.S. Supreme Court upholds the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), Florida State University’s nationally recognized experts in law and medicine are available to discuss the ramifications of the decision.

Among the available is Paolo Annino, J.D., Ph.D., a clinical professor and co-director of the FSU Public Interest Law Center.

At the Public Interest Law Center, Annino supervises students who represent children in foster care, juvenile delinquency, health care, special education, disability, Social Security and criminal law cases. His special interest is health care access for young people and children, and he also works on legal issues involving Medicaid.

“There are 50 million uninsured in this country, and the ACA is the right step in trying to address this shameful condition," Annino said.
