Buying health insurance is often a daunting task leaving individuals and small businesses feeling lost and confused. This confusion has been intensified, now that the Affordable Care Act mandates everyone has to have insurance in 2014. Members have turned to the National Association of REALTORS� looking for help and guidance, and wondering where to begin and what NAR has to offer.
I'm pleased to announce a new health care awareness initiative driven by NAR. This initiative brings information and knowledge to members in an easy and accessible way. A new health insurance topic page has been created on REALTOR.org (http://www.realtor.org/topics/health-insurance) featuring:
� articles
� info graphics
� link to the Affordable Care Act website
� link to the REALTORS� Insurance Marketplace, a REALTOR Benefits� program supported by partner SASid (Smart and Simple Insurance Development)
Also, a live webinar will be presented on December 12 at 11:00am (CST). The webinar will provide an update on what's happening in health insurance, responsibilities to comply with and options. It will also answer popular questions about the open-enrollment deadline and whether to use a private or public exchange. To register, click the link below or on the REALTOR.org topic page:
