Event Synopsis:

Since the enactment of the much debated Healthcare Reform Bill, companies have struggled not only with implementation and compliance but also with financial issues. President Obama has estimated the plan will save more than $1 trillion in the second decade of implementation, but suspicions continue to rise as whether Healthcare Reform would pose a positive or negative impact on health spending. Finance professionals especially in healthcare and life sciences should have a complete understanding of the provisions of this legislation and its potential impact on their business relations.
