“Our health care system is kind of like the Titanic, it's sinking because of its cost. We add 30 million people onto it, it sinks further," opines Robert Laszewski as he makes the case for reform of the healthcare system. Explaining why he does not believe that the Affordable Care Act is the solution to the nation's health care problems, he says, “I just felt that if you're going to expand the entitlement, you've got to do it in a way that makes the system sustainable."

He guides audiences through the ramifications of the Affordable Care Act, tailoring his presentation according to the audience; whether you are an employer, an individual user of healthcare or a member of the health insurance industry, he can help you understand just what the Act will mean for you.
