    ACA Impact on States and BusinessesThe Affordable Care Act is having a significant impact on state budgets andbusinesses bottom line. From the optional Medicaid expansion and non-optionalwoodwork effect to the substantial IT build-up and administrative costs, statescontinue to experience a wide range of increased health costs as a result of theACA. What impact is this having on state coffers and how can states prevent the

    crowding out of other essential services?

    Similarly, businesses are facing increased costs and high levels of taxation as aresult of the law. Several massive taxes in the ACAincluding the healthinsurance tax, the medical device tax, and the prescription drug taxwill bepassed down to consumers in the form of higher premiums and costlier medicalbills. The Joint Economic Committee anticipates the total ACA tax burden toreach $4 trillion by 2035. What options does the private sector have to mitigatethe impact of these harmful taxes?

    liabilities. This panel will traverse the spectrum of policies impacting the fiscalhealth of states, focusing on three major areas: taxes, healthcare and pensions.States with Republican governors have reaped the benefits of pro-growth policiesthat prioritize spending and lower the tax burden on individuals and businesses.Case in point: in March 2013, the average unemployment rate in states withRepublican governors was 0.8 percent lower than in Democratic-led states.Further, an April 2013 GAO report projects widening state budget gaps through2060, primarily driven by rising health care costs for residents and public
