The Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) is coming.
On October 1st, the online health insurance “Marketplace” will open for business, where small businesses and individuals can purchase health plans for 2014. This seminar will offer practical knowledge for small business owners, the self-employed and other individuals who want help navigating the new health insurance programs.
Michael Newsom, President of W.J. Wheeler Insurance says, “I’ve seen the devastating impact that being uninsured or underinsured can have on an individual, family or business owner. My goal is to share knowledge with community members so that each of us can make informed decisions about health insurance in the coming new year.”
The presentation will address health insurance coverage changes that are part of “Obamacare” as well as changes to the purchasing of and cost of health insurance, both for consumers and for employers.
Specific topics for individuals include:
- The individual mandate (does it apply to you?)
- Premium subsidies and cost-sharing subsidies (do you qualify?)
Specific topics for business owners include:
- The employer mandate (does it apply to you?)
- Small business tax credits (do you qualify?)
Please join us for this seminar at the Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School Forum on Wednesday, October 16th at 6:30pm or at the Telstar High School Library in Bethel on Thursday, October 17th at 6:30pm.
