March 26, 2010 happy birthday to me
Wow, that’s all that can be said for the “hair raising” on the back of my neck. Since the signing of Health care reform in Washington March 23rd, my world has changed. In the last two weeks I have met with several new customers, designed a web page you can find at benstaff.com, link will be available by the end of the week.
Everyone will be affected by this reform bill, for example, individual employees will be affected. It’s anticipated that half of those not covered today will still have no coverage in the year 2019.
The costs of reform to large employers is expected to be no change, that means health care for large employers still goes up each year, projected at 5% per year.
There are more than 2,000 references to the “secretary” who is directed who shall direct regulators to determine something. Yes, the Secretary will create no less than 2,000 sets of regulations. What does this mean, well it could be fairly minor or it could be quite significant. My money is on the more significant. To help you, a work group I’m part of has posted on the internet our work about the law.
Right, about the title? Yes, today is my birthday.
