Health System Reform Accomplishments
Strengthening the partnership between business and policy makers – The Chamber partnered with the Utah Department of Health to present the Utah Promontory Health Information Exchange and Technology Connectivity Conference. The Chamber also played a critical role in the governor’s health summit—Health Innovations: Utah 
Solutions for a Healthy Economy and Community.
Repeal of 1099 reporting requirement – PPACA originally contained a provision that required all businesses to file a 1099 tax return for every business or independent contractor with which over $600 worth of business was transacted. The Salt Lake Chamber worked with Utah’s federal delegation and the U.S. Chamber to repeal this onerous requirement.
Federal advocacy – The Chamber’s annual business delegation visit to Washington, D.C. addressed federal health reform issues. We will continue to work closely with the U.S. Chamber to advance federal reform where unreasonable regulations hamper the efforts of 
business to control health care costs.
