Editor's note: When this broker article was published in 2016, the ACA was still around, adding stress to employers trying to get ready for open enrollment season.

So here we are in 2017, heading into open enrollment soon.

So much has changed in a year, and yet so much stays the same. Employers are still dealing with the ACA, still managing heavy administrative burdens, and still feeling stress.
