An Employer's Guide to Health Care Reform - page 2

PAGE 2
Health care reform, also known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), affects employers of all
sizes. Even employers who are not intending to provide health benefits to their employees
need to pay attention to some of the new provisions, and all employers with a health care plan
have compliance requirements to address in the years ahead.
Several provisions in the new law pose strategic issues for employers, and this means
businesses must make key decisions regarding health care benefits for their employees,
followed by both appropriate implementation actions and adequate communications.
With nearly 1,000 pages of health care reform legislation and hundreds of thousands of pages
of new regulations, it can be difficult to know where to begin. The following booklet will help
your business to address important compliance issues and potential benefits strategies to
help you navigate employer-provided benefits amidst health care reform.
