In Home Care, Giving Makes You Better
By Stephen Tweed, CSP Tennis is a great way to get exercise, have great social interaction, and take my mind off work and personal problems. I play three times a week when I'm in town.Last week I was relaxing after my Saturday morning fast-feed clinic, and I scanned the latest copy of Tennis magazine. There was an interesting article about top tennis stars who are actively involved in giving to charity. In one excerpt, it said, "An extraordinarily large number of the world's top players are deeply involved in charities and, like the rest of us the main reason they give is simple altruism (selflessness and concern for others)." |

Small Business Fairness in Obamacare Act
 On October 30, 2013, Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) introduced the "Small Business Fairness in Obamacare Act," H.R.3419. The bill would relieve small businesses from the burdens associated with the health insurance mandate under the Affordable Care Act. The Academy for Private Duty Home CareŽ, Leading Home Care, and The Home Care Association of America have endorsed this legislation.
H.R.3419 would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to exempt certain small businesses from the employer health insurance mandate and to modify the definition of full-time employee for purposes of such mandate.
