HEALTH REFORM: The One Month Retrospective New America Foundation (blog)

04.05.10

Nancy-Ann DeParle, Director of the White House Office of Health Reform, recently offered us a look at what health reform has accomplished in a few short weeks. And HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Tuesday announced how it's going to help early retirees stay covered before reaching Medicare age. The pace is pretty impressive.

Deparle listed the current accomplishments of health reform on the White House blog :

Help Small Businesses Lower Costs. As we’ve said before , the rising cost of health care makes it increasingly difficult for small business to stay afloat. Often, employers in danger of losing their businesses have to make agonizing choices about firing employees or cutting benefits. Under the new health reform law, small businesses are eligible for tax credits to help purchase health insurance for their employees. Specifically, these tax credits will help businesses with 25 or fewer full-time employees, who pay for at least half of their employees’ health insurance coverage. The tax credits will be phased out by 2014, when small businesses will be able to purchase high-quality, affordable health coverage in the new health insurance exchanges.
