DETAILS:
In the past ten years, healthcare costs have nearly doubled and these
rapidly escalating expenses are crushing both individuals and businesses.
The current U.S. administration has made healthcare reform a priority and
-- despite shifting timelines and conflicting opinions -- the
administration is determined to make some substantial changes. It is
imperative for benefits professionals to provide business insight and
perspective on the proposed health care changes to their organization.
However, talk of reform is often polarizing and emotional, making it
difficult for benefits professionals to determine how the Affordable Health
Choices Act will impact them, their organizations and their employees.
During this Webcast, Armenio, who has 25 years of HR experience, will offer
an up-to-the-minute perspective on how the proposed healthcare plan will
directly impact how companies will provide and deliver benefits to their
employees. She will discuss the historical perspective of healthcare
reform, including Clinton's 1993 Health Recovery Act, and why healthcare is
such an issue today. She will present details of the Affordable Health
Choices Act, the administration's guiding principles for the legislation
and the changes being recommended by the legislative committee to ensure
the bill will pass. Most importantly, she will detail the challenges HR
professionals and their businesses are expected to face as the plan
develops.
