Debate: Current and Future Changes, Ethics, and Challenges of ACA

This high-energy debate will feature industry leaders with differing perspectives on the most effective strategies to combat unethical behavior. Should we rely on stricter regulations and enforcement, or would self-policing and industry-led initiatives be more effective? How can technology and transparency play a role in weeding out bad players without overburdening honest agents and agencies?
