Uninsured remain uncertain about PPACA

Uninsured remain uncertain about PPACA

Uninsured remain uncertain about PPACA

In a recent article by BenefitsPro Magazine, author Kathryn Mayer explains that almost 2/3rd’s of Americans have not decided on whether they will purchase insurance by the January 1st, 2014 deadline.

This mirrors a recent survey by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in which the survey reflects the uncertainty business owners are facing and how many are still very confused by the regulations being imposed, potential premium/costs, fines, and how the Exchanges will be implemented.

At Be Well Insurance Solutions we began demystifying the complexities of the Affordable Care Act long before the legislation became the law.  We have been instrumental in keeping our clients informed through seminars, one on one conversations with our clients and potential customers; way before many of our colleagues in the industry .  Our Blog and Twitter feeds are updated often, to reflect recent changes in the law, and we stay committed to bringing you the most up to date information regarding this evolving and complex law.

We realize how frustrating it can be not to have the information needed to make an informed decision, and unfortunately because the ACA was a big part of our last election, much of the implementation was placed on hold.

Although committed to implementing an exchange, California as well, was uncertain and delayed their implementation until after the election.

Thus, much of what individuals and businesses owners can expect in regards to rates, plans and compliance guidance is still To Be Determined.

As Be Well Insurance Solutions is informed by its resources, we will notify our clients via our Blog and email updates.

Please be sure to subscribe to our Blog and follow us on Facebook, Twitter andLinkedIn, for up to date changes and clarifications to the ACA.

In addition, we are always available to meet and discuss your current health plans need.  At  Be Well Insurance Solutions we realize that “One Size does not fit all,” this is why we are dedicated to assisting you in finding the Best Fit Health plan and Ancillary insurance.
