Webcast to cover healthcare reform and small businesses

U.S. Small Business Association Administrator Karen G. Mills will host a Webcast Wednesday, March 31, at 7-7:30 p.m. EST, with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that will cover the overall benefits and implementation of the new health insurance reform law with a focus on small business. This is the first of several regular webcasts at www.HealthReform.gov.

According to Mills, she has received countless questions from small business owners about the new law and its benefits. In fact, this new law offers many tools to help small business owners access more affordable health insurance options for their employees. These tools include the creation of 50 state exchanges that will allow small business owners to access affordable health insurance plans for their employees, as well as new tax credits to help pay for this coverage.

Tomorrow is a chance for us to answer more of those questions with Mills and Secretary Sebelius. Questions should be e-mailed in advance to HealthReform@hhs.gov
