This is the second in a series of presentations jointly sponsored by the Society of Actuaries, and the Conference of Consulting Actuaries, and co-sponsored by the American Academy of Actuaries on the "new" national healthcare reform legislation.

• Key provisions of the legislation that affect the Medicare program;
• Discussion of provisions that will likely change Medicare costs and utilization;
• Changes to Medicare Advantage and likely outcomes to health plans;
• Impact of changes in Medicare programs on employer-sponsored health plans; and
• Considerations to make in current accounting-based valuations.
