PROGRAM OUTLINE: In this session, the panelists will discuss the ACA repeal and replace legislation currently being debated on Capitol Hill. They will review the competing visions from various Republican members of the House and Senate, as well as the path proposed by President Trump. The panel will highlight the concepts that appear frequently throughout the proposals and, at this point, seem most likely to be adopted in the eventual replacement bill.
This session will also cover some of the industry shifts that may result from the post-ACA landscape. For example:
Lastly, President Trump campaigned on a number of dependent care tax reforms, including new above-the-line deductions, dependent care savings accounts, employer on-site daycare incentives, and federal paid maternity leave. The panelists will review these proposals and the prospect of their inclusion in an ACA replace bill or broader tax reform bill.
