Employer Issues in the Wake of Health Care Reform	Back to entire  webinar listing
	Tuesday, April 12, 2011 - 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT - COMPLETED
	Nearly a year has passed since the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in March 2010, and employers now are beginning to witness the wide-reaching impact of this landmark legislation. As insurers, businesses and individuals struggle to manage rising health care costs, maintain quality coverage and avoid penalties, many still remain unaware of the full effect that health care reform will have on their businesses. This special presentation will offer unique insight into the law and reveal new developments in the health care reform debate emerging from Washington. With imminent legislative challenges -- both national and state -- and a variety of provisions still lacking guidance, employers can expect to see even more changes in the coming months and years. These legal and administrative developments will have a direct impact on employers' benefit plans and business strategies, so it is vital to keep a close eye on PPACA.
