Health Care Reform is marching forward and its impact will start to be felt sooner (as early as September 23, 2010) rather than later. From what we know for sure, the following are applicable to all plans:
- Raise dependent age to 26
- Ban on lifetime limits (dollar value)
- Restrictions on annual limits
- Elimination of pre-existing condition exclusion for those younger than 19
- Ban on coverage rescission
- This list applies to “Grandfathered” plans as well.

Just when you thought there could not possibly be anything more to post on your wall, President Obama signed executive order 13496 that took effect June 21, 2010.
What’s 13496 you say? . . . It requires certain federal contractors and subcontractors to post detailed notices informing employees of their rights under the NLRA about collective bargaining and joining/forming unions.

By a 5 – 1 vote the Ohio Supreme Court said that a company can impose a minimum length of service requirement before any employee is eligible for leave. This does not violate anti-discrimination laws in Ohio according to the court.
Imagine the logic used . . . pregnant women must be treated the same as non pregnant women.
