OESA will hold a briefing for automotive suppliers on the federal health care reform law (HCR) and supplier implications on Feb. 2, 2012.  Many employers have been asking themselves how HCR will help or hurt efforts to find and retain a solid workforce, and what the effect will be on the bottom line.

James S. McElya, executive chairman and CEO, Cooper Standard, will open the session and provide context for the health care reform law, and discuss its importance to Cooper Standard and the industry.

The balance of the meeting will be a discussion by Michael J. Langan, consultant, U.S. legislative and regulatory affairs, Towers Watson, to explore the HCR law and its likely effect on the industry.  Langan will discuss:

• Scope of the law and timeline for implementation
• Employer-facing elements of HCR law
• Impact of key employer provisions
  • Health insurance market reforms (20 mandates; 2011/2014)
  • Play or pay employer mandate (2014)
  • Excise tax on high-cost plans
  • Assorted new levies and administrative burdens on employers
• Employer options: Spectrum of Opportunities

 Towers Watson will provide materials detailing key issues and options to be discussed. The materials will help suppliers understand the benefits and drawbacks of the various options.
