4  PPACA : Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act  ACHA: American College Health Association  Deductible : Small amount of money paid out of pocket for each sickness or injury  Co-pay : Small set amount of money paid out of pocket for each office or hospital visit  Co-Insurance: a certain set percentage of money to be paid for each service  SHP : Student Health Plan  MLR : Medical Loss Ratio
