Legislative Issues for 2012
With issues like postal reform, health care, taxes and regulatory initiatives on the minds of printers, will Congress let gridlock and election distractions keep it from acting in the year ahead?
Health Care Reform
According to Lyons, there is still a tremendous amount of interest in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, among the printing community. What has sparked the interest recently was the announcement by the U.S. Supreme Court that it would listen to multiple challenges to its constitutionality, which could produce considerable fireworks with a decision in June on the individual mandate portion of the law that compels most citizens to buy health care coverage by 2014.
