The ACA also has provisions that directly affect consumers, such as allowing everybody to apply for health insurance electronically. The changes also encourage more electronic communication and coaching between providers and patients, such as video chats instead of office visits.

In general, Americans can expect a continuation of Obama's first-term technology policies. Look for more battles over how much control telecommunications companies have over the Internet, and for efforts to shore up cyber defenses and increase access to broadband.

There are mixed responses in India on what Indian Healthcare system is going to gain out of the Obamacare.

Experts feel that Dr. Hariawala's lecture will throw new light and open up a wider debate, considering Hariawala's close understanding of Indo-American business implications.
