i was thinking along the lines of small business-most employers are very small businesses, with no ceo's-unless the owner/operator/manager wants to give himself that fancy title. i'm certainly not thinking of titans like gm, ge, etc.

The 80/20 Rule: Providing Value and Rebates to Millions of Consumers

The new health reform law, the Affordable Care Act, holds health insurance companies accountable to consumers and ensures that American families are reimbursed if health insurance companies don’t meet a fair standard of value.

Because of the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies now must reveal how much of premium dollars they actually spend on health care and how much they spend on administration, such as salaries and marketing.

This information was not shared with consumers in the past.

Not only is this information made available to consumers for the first time, If an insurance company spends less than 80% of premiums on medical care and quality (or less than 85% in the large group market, which is generally insurance provided through large employers), it must rebate the portion of premium dollars that exceeded this limit.[1] This 80/20 rule is commonly known as the Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) rule.

On June 1, 2012, insurance companies nationwide submitted their annual MLR reports for coverage provided in 2011 to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Based on this data, insurance companies that didn’t meet the 80/20 rule will provide nearly 12.8 million Americans with more than $1.1 billion in rebates this year. Americans receiving the rebate will benefit from an average rebate of $151 per household.

Under the new health care law, rebates must be paid by Aug. 1 each year. As a result, 12.8 million Americans will see one of the following:

a rebate check in the mail
a lump-sum reimbursement to the same account that was used to pay the premium if it was paid by credit card or debit card
a direct reduction in their future premiums
their employer providing one of the above rebate methods, or applying the rebate in a manner that benefits its employees.

Here are the expected 2012 rebates:

The Republican "Replacement" Health Care plan is "Obamacare", and has been since the Republicans in the House and Senate first introduced "Obamacare" as GOP legislation in 1993. The Republicans have nothing to "replace" with, as the Dems already passed their GOP "It's replacement for Hillarycare" health care plan.

One of the biggest differences between "Romneycare" (Heritage Foundation Individual Mandate Plan) and "Obamacare" is that Romneycare pays for abortions. Obamacare does not.

As a small business owner, I'll say this: if your business has gotten so busy, you need more employees, you hire them. That's the only incentive to hire.
