5 pages. Excerpt: It is our understanding that the [DOL] has submitted a proposed regulation to the Office of Management and Budget for a 90-day review that would redefine the phrase 'welfare benefit plan' under [ERISA]. We are concerned that this proposal, as applied, may be incompatible if not irreconcilable with provisions in the Patient Protection and [ACA] (PPACA), and may make it difficult if not impossible for employers to comply with either PPACA or the regulation. We request that this proposed regulation be withdrawn in order to assess its compatibility with the intent of the recently enacted comprehensive health care reform.
