Health Care Reform Legislation General Summary and Implementation Deadlines

In March of 2010, the House and Senate approved the new health care reform package of HR 3590, which President Obama signed into law. To better assist you in understanding this historical piece of legislation, we are providing you with a general summary, highlighting in particular some areas that may affect you as an employer.

This new legislation will extend coverage to roughly 32 million uninsured Americans, at an estimated cost of $938 billion to the nation, over the next ten years.

In 2014, those that remain without insurance will face stiff penalties, and employers who do not offer health insurance to their employees will face equally harsh fines.

In 2018, a 40% levy on high-cost health insurance plans will take effect.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will be charged with the implementation of the majority of the changes outlined in the new bill. Over the next half year, HHS will have to write, vet and implement the new insurance regulations – such as rules to require insurers to allow dependents to stay on parents’ plans until age 26; preventing existing plans from placing annual or lifetime limits on patients’ care; and prohibiting them from rescinding patients’ coverage (except in cases of fraud). 

Changes from the current year through 2018 will take effect as follows:

2010

2011

2013

2014

2018
