Healthcare Reform is upon us

9/23/2013

In case you have been living under a rock and are unaware of all the noise surrounding the introduction of a major portion of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), we would like to remind you that Healthcare Reform is finally about to implement its most significant feature, affordable healthcare for everyone.

If you are so busy that you only read headlines and view broadcast snippets, you may have fallen under the impression that Obamacare has been defunded, it has not.  There was a vote by one house of congress to defund Obamacare.  If you will recall from your 8th grade civics class lessons, it will take the additional action of the other house of congress and the signature of the President to affect any action of this sort.  Both of whom have indicated that there is no chance any such action is forthcoming.

So beginning in one week, the healthcare marketplace (exchanges) will be available in all 50 states.  Despite a great deal of discussion surrounding shutting down the government, we are being told by very trustworthy sources that Obamacare is a speeding train that cannot be stopped.  For those of us that already have health insurance coverage there will be little to no change.  But for those people who were previously unable to acquire health insurance coverage you will be able to sign up for affordable coverage that begins effective January 1, 2014.

There has been a great deal of misinformation disseminated about Healthcare Reform and you may be confused about what is or isn’t true.  For this reason we have dedicated a special page on this website to try to help you figure out how Healthcare Reform affects you personally.  We have provided resources that we believe to be credible and accurate.  You will find a link to the Healthcare Reform Information Page down the right side of this website or just click here to be taken to the resource.
