If
you're not sure what the new health care law means to you, you're not alone. A poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation revealed
that just over a third of the public had tried to find out more information about the law-the Affordable Care Act-in recent months. About half of the respondents to the survey said they remain confused
about the law and its provisions.
If
you have questions we can provide the answers you need. Among other things, our individual
clients should be aware of the Shared Responsibility Provision that becomes effective on January
1, 2014. Under the provision, people of all ages, including
children, must either have minimum essential health coverage, qualify
for an exemption or make a payment when they file their tax
return. We can help you understand whether
your coverage meets the law's requirements, how gaps in coverage will be treated and what circumstances qualify
for an exemption. Contact us today to find out how the health care law will affect you.
