HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Indeed the holidays coincide with a tremendously busy time for our profession - a triple scoop of Open Enrollment... Small Group, Individual and Medicare. Can you say #Q4Madness??? 

Hang in there, mighty warriors. We know you're all super busy and working very long hours. This remains a noble calling and no doubt your clients would be completely lost without you.

Be sure to make time for work/life balance and just remember to breathe.

Happy Holidays to our entire CAHU Family!

2015 Legislation Summary

Although he's officially retired and living it up south of the border, our dear friend Bill Robinson remains active and valuable to CAHU, and has prepared a very helpful recap of the most impactful 2015 laws that take effect January 1st, 2016.

The 9 Most Important New Health Insurance Laws from the 2105 California Legislative Session can be found on the Bills & Legislation page at www.cahu.org.

    
PACE Act Survey

Thanks to everyone who quickly responded to our recent survey regarding the PACE Act, which allows states to define small group as up to 50 employees, rather than the 100 originally stipulated in the ACA.
 
While it appears fairly likely that CA lawmakers will not make any changes to the coming small group expansion, we continue to pursue all avenues of partnership on this and other key aspects of the current health reform climate in California.

    
Membership Contests
