Impact of Health Care Reform. The Cadillac Tax is one of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 and is effective in 2020. The Cadillac Tax only applies to plans that cost $10,200 or more for an individual or $27,500 per family. There will be a 40 percent excise tax for expenditures over these thresholds. The thresholds are set to grow by the consumer price index (CPI) plus 1 percentage point in 2019 and 2020, and by the CPI thereafter. Because medical trends are projected to be higher than general inflation we expect the percentage of the premium that is subject to the premium tax will increase over time. M-NCPPC’s OPEB plan is generous. General Employees with 25 or more years of service receive a 75 percent (or greater) employer subsidy while Police employees with 25 or more years or service receive a 78 percent (or greater) employer subsidy depending on date of hire and service at retirement. Hence, we expect the M-NCPPC to be affected by the Cadillac Tax at some point in the future. At the direction of the plan sponsor, we are not reflecting the Cadillac Tax for budgeting purposes. There are no requirements to prefund, and the Cadillac tax is far in the future and uncertain, accordingly the Plan Sponsor has elected not to divert additional resources to be able to pay a tax that may never be levied on the Plan.
