A question about the ACA. [View all]

Pardon my ignorance on the matter, I really haven't had the time or inclination to research this beast of a bill, and find it somewhat daunting to even begin.

I am a nurse at a community hospital, and am just wondering how this bill (if at all) will affect my job? I already have to put in diagnostic codes when the patient is admitted, enter the charges for all the procedures the patient has during her stay, and my hospital recently went through the very painful process of a CMS audit. From what I can gather it doesn't appear this bill will affect my job at all, is this correct?

Thank you in advance for indulging my stupid question.
