Staffing Matters
Greetings!

                                     
1st PPACA (Obamacare) Survey Results
Background
  
In mid-January 2013 over 2,000 invitations were sent to members of our Mailing List and we were pleased with the number and quality of responses we received.
 
Many of the responses received were reflective of the early timing of the Survey, we expect in future months readers will have advanced their
thinking on PPACA.

As more information on PPACA is available, we expect readers to further develop their position on Obamacare. Later results should prove interesting.
