Free AIA Webinar on Health Care Reform: What the New Bill Means for AIA Members
May 19, 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Daylight Time) Click here to register.
The new health care law will change the way many AIA members, from sole proprietors to large firm principals, receive medical care. What does this new law mean for you, your family, and your firm? Will you have to change the insurance you already have? Will your premiums go up or down? Will your firm be penalized if it doesn’t follow the rules? What is a “Cadillac” healthcare plan?
