Healthcare reform

This blogger has resisted posting about healthcare reform because there is ample information about every facet of legislation that essentially remains a work in progress. Once there is a final result, bill passes or bill is defeated, we will have plenty of opportunity to comment on the effect of the final result upon employers and their employees. For now we will note that labor supports the House version of the bill. As for the Senate bill, Labor will lobby to increase employer mandates, eliminate the excise tax on Cadillac plans and include a strong public option.
