Health Care Reform

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. On March 30, he signed the Reconciliation Bill. Collectively, they represent HCR. With over 2,000 pages of new legislation, Health Care Reform will affect virtually every corner of the health care industry, including several near- and longer-term changes that will impact employers. Kapnick Insurance Group is committed to providing clients with ample information and guidance as details unfold. A Health Care Reform Task Force has been established to field questions, review new legislation, and provide answers/information based on trusted resources and their own knowledge of the new legislation on a weekly basis via email in a publication called HCR – A Week in Review.
