Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015

The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) is a law that helps older people and children have access to health care. It makes sure that people who are over 65 years old and children who are under 19 years old can get the healthcare they need. It also helps make sure that these people can afford their health care. The law also helps make sure that doctors get paid for the services they provide to these individuals. Finally, MACRA also helps make sure that the government is providing more money to cover and improve Medicare and children's health insurance (CHIP) programs. In short, MACRA helps make sure that everyone can get the health care they need, when they need it.
