This week The American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC) launched its new Managed Markets News Network, featuring the top stories in managed care and interviews with industry experts. The first installment highlights the news that the Obama administration plans to address 2 common consumers complaints related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Finally, as AJMC continues to celebrate 20 years of publication, the publication is launching its Emerging Leader in Managed Care Research award. There's still time to nominate, just email info@ajmc.com.
