Caroline J. Berdzik, a partner in Goldberg Segalla’s Labor and Employment and Professional Liability Practice Groups, provided her perspective on the re-election of President Obama to Long Term Living magazine.

She also said that since repeal of the Affordable Care Act is unlikely, long term care providers “will have to strategically prepare for these changes and also evaluate, if they have not done so already, how this will affect health insurance offerings to their employees. You may have employers looking to significantly reduce hours of employees to avoid increased health insurance costs.”
