Healthcare Reform: Complex, Confusing and Potentially Costly
As certified healthcare reform experts (through the National Association of Health Underwriters), my team at Benefits Network have studied the law in great detail including the many lengthy regulations that have recently been released by the Department of Health and Human Services. Even with our intense focus on our country's new healthcare platform, there are many legitimate questions that still must be addressed and regulations that have not yet been written. It's a moving target. What I have noticed, to my dismay, is the media and other "so-called experts" in the field, relying on anecdotes they hear or read. Without verification, they pass the information on as though it is fact. This is a very scary proposition. If you represent an employer, here are some things to consider:
These are just two of many provisions that employers face that are far from simple. There are rules and potential penalties for individuals as well. I encourage you to find an advisor who has done the research and has proper legal and compliance resources readily available. Anything short of this could send you down a costly path.
