The new 2012-2013 edition of Employer’s Guide to Health Care Reform is designed to assist employers in updating their health and welfare benefit plans to comply with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. Along the way, the book identifies opportunities created by the Affordable Care Act for employers to control or reduce their overall health benefit spending. It touches on the national debate that continues to rage regarding the fundamental principles, culminating in the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius, as well as the details of health care reform, but it is not intended to be a partisan treatise. Rather, Employer’s Guide to Health Care Reform is a step-by-step practical guide for employers struggling to keep up with the rapid pace of changes affecting their health benefit plans.
