U.S. Supreme Court approval of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act has left business leaders wondering how it will affect their companies and employees.
What are the tax implications? The legal requirements? What other rules and regulations will employers have to follow?
These questions and more will be addressed at the Arkansas Business Health Care Reform Symposium on Sept. 11 in the Wally Allen Ballroom at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock.
