There is no shortage of questions when it comes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), among them, is it a good tax policy, and will it impact your employer-provided health care benefits?

“The Center for Tax Law & Employee Benefits remains cutting edge in its deliverance of timely employee benefit issues,” said Professor Kathryn Kennedy, director of the Center. “For this symposium, we tackle the issues involving in implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which have implications not only for employer-provided health care plans, but Medicaid and the uninsured.”
The featured speaker will be W. Thomas Reeder, health care counsel for the Internal Revenue Service, who will focus on the tax aspects of health care reform. He previously was the senior benefits counsel for the Senate Finance Committee staff and worked at the Department of Treasury. Throughout his career, Reeder has advised on tax policy relating to health care, pensions, retirement, and Social Security issues.
Other topics covered during the program include: Is the ACA Good Tax Policy?; Unfinished Business: The Affordable Care Act and the Problem of Delayed and Denied ERISA Health Care Claims; The Thin Red Federal Poverty Line: How Rejecting Medicaid Expansion Affects Those with Exchange; and Health-Related Spending/Savings Accounts: Is There Room For An Expanded Role in Implementing the Affordable Care Act?
