NEW YORK, April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP today launched a new website for their Health Industries practice – www.pwc.com/healthreform – which will serve as a central point of access for PricewaterhouseCoopers' latest insight and analysis on the implications of health reform for health organizations including insurers, physicians, hospitals and other providers, pharmaceutical and life sciences companies and employers.
"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.
