Organizations’ Response to Health Care Reform SHRM Poll 

 

Landmark legislation that brought about major reforms in health care coverage in the United States was enacted in March 2010. The law affects employers and HR professionals in a variety of ways. Will organizations drop health care coverage, will employees pay more for health care, are organizations considering alternative health care plans? Companies’ response is explored in this first poll in a series of health care poll by SHRM. Nearly one-half of organizations (46%) have decided not to drop health care coverage for employees as a result of the new health care reform law.
