New health law seminar full of info but lacking assurances
0919healthcare6
Rob Fowler, executive vice president of Turner Wood & Smith Insurance, speaks at the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce seminar on health care reform at the Brenau Downtown Center.
A seminar on the new health care law and its impacts on Wednesday provided a lot of information, but not a lot of assurance it’s the fix the system needs. Many provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010, take effect late this year and in 2014, starting with online health insurance exchanges going live Oct. 1. The seminar at the Brenau Downtown Center featured five presentations and a short panel discussion where some of the speakers answered audience questions.
