This report forecasts the future impacts of the HealthcareReform bill enacted by President Obama in March 2010. The report focuses on the U.S. healthcare system and its major stakeholders such as pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical devices manufacturers, and health insurance industry.

The healthcareReform bill set forth several provisions to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare, address the inefficiencies of the existing healthcare structure, and to decrease the number of uninsured people in the U.S. In order to implement a self-funded reform, the Obama Administration set forward provisions for cost containment and assessment of annual fees (in the form of excise tax) on drug manufacturers, medical device companies, and the private insurance industry over a period of 2010 to 2019. Successful implementation of the health reforms by 2019 would reduce federal budgetary deficit by $143 billion from about $1.4 trillion in 2009.

The industry-specific provisions of the health reforms are expected to have a mixed impact on drug manufacturers and medical device industry. Evaluating the health reforms from the perspective of changing equation among industry stakeholders, empowerment of consumers in the long run is likely to create a win-win situation for all stakeholders.
