- 2. Health Care Reform Series: Poll 2
Introduction
Landmark legislation that brought about major reforms in health care coverage in the
United States was enacted in March 2010. The law affects employers and HR
professionals in a variety of ways. SHRM will be conducting a series of polls on health
care reform and its implications for employers and employees. This presentation covers
the findings from the second poll in this series, which was conducted in July 2010.

- 3. Key Findings
• How well do organizations understand the specific aspects of the health care reform law? 50% of
organizations have taken some type of action in response to the passing of the health care reform bill. Due
to a lack of clarity on the specifics of the law, another 50% have not taken action or are unsure if action has
been taken. Sixty-four percent of HR professionals are having difficulty understanding the gray areas and
details of the law, 52% are not comfortable with what they know about the law and 54% see lack of
understanding as the main implementation barrier. Clearly, HR professionals are waiting on additional
information to make informed decisions.
• Where are organizations turning to learn about the health care reform law? Nearly 75% of organizations
report using an insurance broker to inform them on the new law. Organizations that have not yet taken
action are likely relying on information from their insurance broker on how to proceed.
• What are the implementation barriers of the health care reform law? Lack of overall understanding of the
details of the law, implementation costs and employee out-of-pocket costs were reported as the main
barriers to implementing the new law.
• What actions are organizations taking in response to the new health care reform law? The top five actions
are: 1) working with legal and/or benefits counsel to understand the implications of the law for the
organization, 2) sending HR staff to training to learn the details of the law, 3) partnering with current health
care benefits providers to design the 2011 health care plan, 4) developing health care cost analysis for
organizational leadership, and 5) analyzing the short-term financial impact of the law and the feasibility of
offering health care.

next three slides. Specifically, 64% of HR professionals are having difficulty understanding the gray areas
and details of the law (see Slide 6); 52% are not comfortable with what they know about the law (see Slide
8); and 54% see lack of understanding as the main implementation barrier (see Slide 9). Clearly, HR
professionals are waiting on additional information to make informed decisions.
• Respondents who report having taken no action and those who are not sure if action has been taken are
likely relying on their insurance broker to take action, as nearly three-quarters of HR professionals report
using an insurance broker to inform them on the new law (see Slide 10).
