SUBJECT: Answers to Your Health Reform Questions
Please join Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and me tomorrow, Wednesday, March 31, from 7-7:30 PM EST on www.HealthReform.gov for a live Q&A session on understanding the new health insurance reform law and its benefits for small businesses. This is the first of several regular webcasts that will cover the overall benefits and implementation of the new law, and ;m happy that this first session will have a focus on small business.
Already, -ve received countless questions from small business owners about the new law and its benefits. In fact, this new law offers many tools to help small business owners access more affordable health insurance options for their employees. These tools include the creation of 50 state exchanges that will allow small business owners to access affordable health insurance plans for their employees, as well as new tax credits to help pay for this coverage.
Tomorrow is a chance for us to answer more of those questions, and Secretary Sebelius and I want to hear from you. Email your questions in advance to HealthReform@hhs.gov. We will try to answer as many of them as possible.
I know you want to know wha-s in health insurance reform for your small business and your employees. I hope yo'll join Secretary Sebelius and me at www.HealthReform.gov Wednesday night, at 7 PM EST to find out wha's in it for you.
Legislation of this sort is always fraught with potential probelms. It promises much but often throws up 'teething troubles' which need to be worked through.
If it's well drafted and supported them it could be a great fundamanetal change but it really remains to be seem what the ripple effects are.
President Obama has signed into law health reform legislation that brings down health care costs for American families and small businesses, expands coverage to millions of Americans and ends the worst practices of insurance companies. And it begins to do so this year.
