It’s been a crucial day here in Washington with the Supreme Court’s ruling that the major provisions of the Affordable Care Act are in fact constitutional.

With the court ruling 5-4 in favor of key provisions of the bill that will take full effect in 2014, health care PR and marketing professionals have a great opportunity to help guide the conversation, connecting a divergent public to better quality health care while, at the same time, assisting corporations to communicate how they will pay for it all.

In a video interview, I discuss today’s Supreme Court Ruling and its implications for communicators in Washington and across the country.

Also, my op-ed in PRWeek was published today on the implications for communicators here in Washington and across the country.

Chuck Alston is SVP and Director of Public Affairs at MSL Washington DC. He has extensive experience in policy, politics and specialized knowledge of health care policy.
