Health Care Reform and JLab Benefits
On March 23, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly  
referred to as Health Care Reform) was signed into law. The bill  
involves a number of changes to employer-sponsored health care and  
benefit plans. The majority of the changes will not take effect for  
several years, while some mandates will be implemented in the coming  
months. To see how these changes may affect you, see the full  
announcement on Insight.

JLab Strategic Plan Available Online
The JLab Strategic Plan is now available for review online. The  
document has been posted to the Insight page in the Popular  
Applications portlet.
