Do you know how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will affect you and your family?
Starting October 1, there will be many changes that will take place and you need to know how to proceed.
Since it took effect in 2010, the health reform law, otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act or ACA, has made important changes to the way health care coverage works for children and families.
Now you can compare insurance options to find the right plan for you and your family.
As of January 1, 2014, almost all Americans will be required to have health insurance or pay a penalty.
If you have access to affordable insurance through your employer, you do not need to change insurance coverage if you don't want to.
If you do not have access to affordable coverage, you can get health insurance through your state's marketplace.
Enrollment for new coverage begins October 1, 2013.
Join Marianne Eterno, Guarantee Trust Life Insurance Company Assistant Vice President of Government Relations and Melanie Cole, MS, as they guide you through the new Health insurance laws and simplify the act.
