The document discusses the Affordable Care Act and its implications for controlling healthcare costs and mitigating risk. It notes that while the ACA aims to increase access to insurance, it does not directly address the rising costs of healthcare. The ACA will likely increase both direct costs through penalties, premiums, taxes and indirect costs through administrative expenses. It also outlines various provisions of the ACA that will impact employers and health plans, such as the establishment of state health insurance exchanges, employer mandates, Medicaid expansion and penalties for non-compliance.
