"Embedded within the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, signed into law on March 30, is a blueprint for a new health system," said Kelly A. Barnes, U.S. health industries leader, PricewaterhouseCoopers. "The implications of this new, comprehensive law - including new taxes, regulations and administrative deadlines - present opportunities and challenges that will affect each of the sectors in the health industries in different ways.
