Impact of Healthcare Law on Colorado Small Businesses Focal Point of Webinar
Interactive call open to all small businesses; chance for entrepreneurs to learn about new small business and individual marketplaces, and how to enroll in one of the health insurance marketplaces
DENVER—Small business organization Small Business Majority will host a webinar on Thursday, January 8, 2015, on the healthcare law's impact on Colorado small businesses and how entrepreneurs can benefit from the state's health insurance marketplace, Connect for Health Colorado.
The free webinar, which is open to all small business owners, will feature Small Business Majority's Colorado Outreach Manager, Tim Gaudette, who will discuss the topics most relevant to small businesses. These include how the marketplace functions for self-employed business owners, small business tax credits, wellness grants and cost containment provisions. Gaudette will provide detailed information on Colorado's health insurance marketplace where small business owners can pool their buying power to help drive down insurance costs. Gaudette will also explain how the marketplace functions and how small business owners can join now that open enrollment has started.
A question and answer period will follow the discussion. Representatives of the U.S. Small Business Administration will be participating as guest speakers.
"These interactive dialogues are a great way for small businesses to get the information they need to take advantage of and comply with key provisions of the healthcare law, and for us to get feedback on their thoughts and concerns," said Gaudette. "Access to these new options, either the small business portal or the individual marketplace, will provide new options for many entrepreneurs to obtain health insurance for their families and their employees."
The webinar will take place on Thursday, January 8, 2015, from 11:00am to 12:00pm MST. Small business owners can register for the interactive call online by clicking:
