Explain how the PPACA will impact the two types of hospitals selected.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will have a major impact on two different types of hospitals – for-profit and nonprofit. For-profit hospitals rely largely on insurance payments as well as patient fees which makes them vulnerable to changes in the healthcare industry when it comes to reimbursement policies. The PPACA’s provision requiring coverage of preventive care services with no deductibles or co-pays may result in decreased revenue due to less patients utilizing their services since they are now covered by insurance providers.

On the other hand, nonprofit hospitals will benefit from the PPACA as they are typically more focused on providing quality care regardless of ability to pay. These organizations rely heavily on government funding and donations so the rise in health coverage through Medicaid expansion means that more uninsured individuals can now access necessary treatments reducing overall costs for these institutions. Furthermore, additional incentives such as bonuses for meeting certain performance standards outlined in the act help incentivize them to provide better care while ensuring sustainability over time despite any potential budget cuts.

In conclusion, both types of hospitals will be affected differently by the PPACA however; their respective needs should still be taken into account when implementing new healthcare regulations moving forward.
