Right now there are thousands of consultants of all sizes, expertise and interest attempting to respond to the question: What does “ObamaCare,” formally known as The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, mean to your business?
The fact is, they don’t know.
The reason they don’t know is because the federal government has yet to publish the final rules and regulations that will be necessary to obtain and provide answers to critical questions that will help businesses comply with the new health-care law. Equally important, these answers are needed to help employers understand the economic implications of the new law. However, even the deadline for employers to notify employees of the availability of Health Benefit Exchanges has been delayed from March 1 to late summer or fall 2013.
The Manufacturer & Business Association is not a consulting firm. We are a business association, and our job is to provide factual information and solutions that will help you, our members, understand and comply with the new law and assess its economic implications on your operations.
As part of these efforts, your Association has assembled a group of tax, legal and health-care experts who will be charged with answering the following questions:
- I am an employer with less than 50 full-time equivalent employees, what exactly are my options with regard to the new health-care law?
- I am an employer with greater than 50 full-time equivalent employees, what exactly are my options with regard to the new health-care law?
- Which options under the law are in the best economic interest to my business and our employees?
Before you act, make sure you are fully armed with factual information. The Manufacturer & Business Association will conduct a series of briefings, conferences
and webinars, free of charge, to all members with only one goal — to help you navigate this complex issue and ensure that you have all the facts.
The Association will continue to keep you notified about these informational sessions. We also encourage you to visit our website, www.mbausa.org, to learn about the most current health-care law updates that are essential to your business.
