Greetings, As millions of Americans eagerly awaited to hear who the leader of their country would be for the next four years, medical travel professionals awaited the news, but for different reasons. As explored in this issue’s FROM THE PUBLISHER column, the re-election of President Barack Obama assures the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which has the potential to create huge opportunities for the industry through new employer-offered medical travel options. Also of interest to employers is the question of how medical travel could serve to keep workers’ compensation costs down. Richard Krasner’s PERSPECTIVES column explores both the opportunities and barriers to medical travel solutions. Thanks to all those who expressed concern about our headquarters here in New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy. Power has been restored to our area and, thankfully, we remained fully operational through it all. Our thoughts and hearts go out to all those not so fortunate. As always, we welcome your comments, story ideas and press releases. Cheers, Amanda Haar, Editor [email protected]
