This panel will present information on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, addressing three areas of the legislation that are potential sources of litigation for employers and insurers. Under the Employer Shared Responsibility Tax, large employers may face significant taxes; the rules that implement this tax, however, are complex and untested. Until the rules are refined through litigation, we anticipate employer challenges to IRS assessments in federal tax court. Additionally, the Affordable Care Act affects insurers profoundly, subjecting them to a completely new regulatory regime. Finally, whistleblower provisions within the Affordable Care Act and the issues employers may anticipate in complying with these provisions will be discussed.
