A recent survey by Crain Communications' publications Business Insurance and Workforce Management indicates that a majority of employers will not be eliminating their health benefits offerings.
The new health reform law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, penalizes employers that do not offer coverage $2,000 per full-time employee. According to the survey, 52.5% of the 3,700 responding executives strongly disagreed that it would be better for their firm to stop offering health benefits and pay the penalty. On the other end, only 14.1% of respondents strongly believe that dropping health benefits altogether would be better for their organization.
