Seminar on The Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act launched a new era in the American health care system by increasing access to health insurance coverage, expanding federal private health insurance market requirements and requiring the creation of health insurance exchanges to provide individuals and small employers with access to insurance among other things. Some parts have been delayed, others will move forward in 2014.
The Kentucky Chamber of Commerce is hosting a seminar: "Road Map Through Reform" on Nov. 6 in Louisville. The seminar will cover everything that a business will have to do to ensure current and future compliance with The Affordable Care Act. Click the photo above for more information and registration.
