Subject: Health Care Reform Bulletin #7

Thank you to all of those who sent in response, questions and thoughts. After a short break, the bulletins are back and ready to help everyone learn more about Health Care Reform.

DIFFERING VIEWS

There are a couple of recent news articles, (Washington Post), (CNN) discussing President Obama’s view on the Supreme Court recent hearings on health care reform and the cost of the repealing the bill. While this bulletin isn’t a forum for political discussion, it is always helpful to learn the views of both sides of the debate.

There are other great sources of information beyond the newspapers, blogs and TV.
Barb Storm and Brian Billings both sent in an email update from the insurance company UNUM. They provides excellent coverage and insight from the perspective of a carrier on their website http://unum.com/healthcarereform/ 

In particular, review their update regarding the new ruling on Auto Enrolling employees in a benefit plan if the employer has more than 200 employees. This update illustrates how many of the proposed items in PPACA have not be implemented and are awaiting the ruling coming from the Supreme Court in June.
