Impact of Healthcare Law on Colorado Small Businesses Focal Point of Webinar
Interactive calls 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
DENVER̢??Small business organization Small Business Majority will host a webinar in both December 2014 and January 2015 on the healthcare law̢???s impact on Colorado small businesses and how entrepreneurs can benefit from the state̢???s health insurance marketplace, Connect for Health Colorado.
The free webinars, which are open to all small business owners, will feature Small Business Majority̢???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 Colorado̢???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.̢????
