<< Return to Topic ListHealth Care ReformUpdated 4/23/10 Why Employers CareOn March 30th, 2010 President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) which will extend health care insurance coverage to an additional 32 million Americans. The law also contains many provisions that will impact employers and employer plans; some of which take effect soon. While the law mainly expands access to health insurance coverage, it remains to be seen whether it will reduce costs and improve quality.For the most up to date information on PPACA, the Business Group suggests visiting our Health Reform (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) Implementation and Communications Toolkit hyperlinked below. The toolkit contains slides for communicating with senior executives and your HR department, key details that your employees and retirees will need to know, a timeline of key employer provisions, a regularly updated frequently asked questions, a public policy alert with key details of the new health care law, and a detailed chart of the final health reform law provisions. What Can Employers Do?As members of the National Business Group on Health, employers can contact the Business Group's public policy team at policy@businessgrouphealth.org with concerns and to receive more information on health care reform.
