Overview
Health care reform could have a more significant impact on the United States economy and on our personal lives than any federal legislation in the past 100 years. Beyond the partisan politics and media hype are the practical concerns of employers, HR professionals, attorneys, third-party administrators, and other consultants and professionals who work with group health plans and related benefits on a daily basis. This OnDemand Webinar will address the status of the various health care reform bills in Congress as of September 23, 2009, and address the likelihood of passage of key elements as of that date. More importantly, it will cover the practical implications of this legislation for professionals involved in the administration and design of health benefits for employees, and the potential impact of change to the health insurance industry.
