CEOs Ready To Revolt Against Obamacare…
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Leading U. S. CEOs, angered by the Obama administration’s challenge to certain ‘workplace wellness’ programs, are threatening to side with anti-Obamacare forces unless the government backs off, according to people familiar with the matter.
Major U. S. corporations have broadly supported President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform despite concerns over several of its elements, largely because it included provisions encouraging the wellness programs.
The programs aim to control healthcare costs by reducing smoking, obesity, hypertension and other risk factors that can lead to expensive illnesses. A bipartisan provision in the 2010 healthcare reform law allows employers to reward workers who participate and penalize those who don’t.
