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?
One caveat: the employer mandate requiring large employers to obtain minimum health coverage is not under review. What will be explored, in addition to the individual mandate, is the severability of the law; if the Act is inseverable, it must be struck down if any aspect of it fails. However, if the Supreme Court green lights the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, it will take a Congressional repeal of the employer mandate to lift the burden from industry.
