1 Healthcare Reform Update HAMA Fall Meeting October 6, 2010

2 1 Purpose of today’s session 1  Discuss background of US Healthcare reform  Review current provisions of new law  Consider key questions for our industry  Share Hilton’s current process

3 2 Situation Summary 2  2,650 page legislation was enacted in March 2010 – contains employer mandates including the requirement that large employers offer coverage or pay a penalty  New state exchanges will be established – they must meet federal guidelines and are to be operated by non-profit entities  Individuals will be required to maintain coverage or pay a penalty (penalty may not exceed cost of coverage)  Subsidies will be provided to low and middle income participants to buy exchange coverage  The new law will be financed through taxes on employers, insurers, drug and device makers, high income earners, and cuts to Medicare  Employer-sponsored systems will need to adjust to accommodate the new law  This is just the beginning – regulatory guidance and additional legislation will be forthcoming  Without aggressive action, employer healthcare costs could double in the next five years
