Health Care
Employers of all types and sizes are concerned about health insurance costs and availability--as are most employees, whether or not they have a disability. This section of ForEmployers provides information and resources on health care issues.
If you hire a person with a disability, will your company have trouble finding life, health, and disability insurance? While many employers know that having workers with disabilities doesn't affect workers compensation, you may be surprised to hear that difficulties related to insurance coverage from hiring a person with a disability are more the exception than the rule.

The new Medicare prescription drug benefit and retiree drug subsidy provide employers and unions with options that are designed to make it more affordable for them to continue providing high-quality prescription drug assistance to their Medicare-eligible retirees.
