Obamacare Regulations

Three key sets of regulations needed to implement the Affordable Care Act have been issued. Insurers, consumer groups and the public have 30 days to weigh in with comments on two of the proposed rules {essential benefits and premiums) and will have until Jan. 25 for the third, which outlines how employers can structure wellness programs that offer discounts to workers who participate. The contents of the laws which authorize these regulations are summarized in my October 23, 2012 blog "Contents of Obamacare - Part 2". Here is a good article from Kaiser that summarizes the proposed regs: http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/2012/November/20/administration-releases-new-rules-for-health-law.aspx?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+khn+%28All+Kaiser+Health+News%29
