AON-Thirty-six Percent of Companies Surveyed Plan on Using Exchanges for Retirees
Aon Hewitt surveyed 344 companies representing 2.2 million retirees from May through November 2010 for its report, Employer Reaction to Health Care Reform: Retiree Strategy Survey. It found that 61 percent of the companies were evaluating their long-term retiree medical strategy or expected to evaluate it by the end of 2011 due to enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Thirty-six companies surveyed reported that they would use the health insurance exchanges for retirees who are not eligible for Medicare.
