Health Care Reform

Thank you for your interest in learning more about the new health care law and what it means for you, your family, or your business.

The new law will improve health care quality for all Americans and begin to reduce health care costs over time.  Insurance companies will no longer be able to deny coverage for people who have preexisting conditions, drop coverage when someone gets sick and needs health insurance the most, or put annual or lifetime limits on benefits.  This legislation will be implemented responsibly over the course of ten years, but many of these important insurance reforms have already begun. 

Below you will find information and links to other sites that I hope you will find helpful.
