Tuesday, April 13, 2010

1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. EST

The recent passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care & Education Affordability Reconciliation Act affects nearly every American and will reshape approximately one-sixth of the national economy. Under this new legislation, Americans for the first time will be required to purchase health insurance, and will face penalties if they fail or refuse to do so. Additionally, employers for the first time will be required to offer their workers health insurance coverage, and those that don’t will face fines and penalties. In this one-hour webinar, we will provide an up-to-the minute clear and complete review of Health Care Reform’s main requirements as well as a practical discussion of what it means to employers.

Why Should You Attend This Webinar? Understanding and interpreting the new sweeping healthcare reform changes is now a top priority for all employers, and you have likely been inundated with invitations from your lawyers and other vendors to participate in their Health Care Reform-related events. To help clients work through the myriad of issues and changes, we established an interdisciplinary Health Care Reform Task Force comprised of Benefits, Tax, Health Care and Labor lawyers in mid-2009 to focus on the new law and how it will affect our clients. During the webinar, we will share our collective insights, clarify common misconceptions about the new law, and highlight the instances in which the law fails to provide clear guidance. We will also help you to anticipate what the final rules might look like once they are released by the government. By participating, you will reap the benefits of our months of learning on this critical topic.

Peter J. Marathas, Jr., Partner, Proskauer

James R. Napoli, Senior Counsel, Proskauer
