Only 2% indicated they will not provide coverage in 2014. The International Foundation of Employee Benefits Plans’ Supreme Court ACA Decision Reaction Survey found reactions to the court’s decision differ significantly by sectors. The public sector showed the most satisfaction with 59%. The multiemployer (49%) and single-employer/corporation (33%) sectors had lesser degrees of satisfaction with the Supreme Court’s ruling. Similarly, the workforce reactions by each of the sectors were in line with the sector organizations, but at higher levels of satisfaction: public (67%), multiemployer (55%) and corporate (43%). Overall, the results were split when respondents identified which Supreme Court decision would have been most beneficial to their organization. The data showed 46% felt the best possible decision for their organization would have been the full ACA being thrown out, while 41% said the best decision was the law being upheld. Another 12% of organizations would have liked the individual mandate overturned, but the remainder of the ACA to stay intact. Forty-nine percent of the surveyed organizations are shifting their attention to wellness, while 32% are focusing on consumer-driven health plans, 27% will shift costs to employees and 26% will focus on value-based health care (VBHC).
