There are new rules and judicial opinions continually released by the IRS, courts, Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and state insurance commissioners.
For employers, regardless of whether an employer decides to “play or pay” in 2015 and beyond, there are other subjective factors (hidden costs) of health care reform that will impact company culture and strategic values or direction.

- Impacts to employee productivity and morale
- Changes in taxable income for both employers and employees
