Healthcare Reform
Healthcare reform will affect how all employers provide and administer healthcare benefits, but employers remain unsure of whether the bill will help or hurt them. The Richards Group is committed to helping our clients analyze how the legislation will impact them as an employer – from a politically neutral perspective.
Employers have a limited time to prepare for the first wave of changes, so it is critical that you understand the details of the legislation. To help employers determine how this landmark healthcare reform will affect their organizations, The Richards Group has made available a number of resources on this webpage. We also recognize that the legislation is subject to changing interpretations and that there will be a number of elections that occur before all of the healthcare reform bill has been implemented, so the impact to employers will evolve over time and this website will be updated to reflect the changing reality for employers.
