Since its passage a few years ago, Republicans and others have sought to demonize the Affordable Care Act, while conversely those supporting the Act have done a poor job of providing accurate information about the Act. I have found this political contest a quagmire of misinformation.
Like most ground breaking legislation, the Act is not without its flaws, and over time hopefully legislators will set aside politics and take steps to improve the legislation as needed. As we experience the implementation of the statute, we will doubtless find new issues to be addressed. However, given the fact that we pay more for healthcare in the United States and get less satisfactory results than many other industrialized nations, the fact that millions of American until this time have been without healthcare, while those of us with coverage have paid higher premiums to subsidize many of them, and a number of other factors, the fact we have at last done something is encouraging.
So here I begin a series of posts on the Affordable Health Care Act trying to provide information regarding new regulations and most importantly how the Act will affect employers and employees.
