UNDERSTANDING THE NEW HEALTHCARE ACT

Join us for a training session. 

- What are the exchanges? 
- How do they work? 
- What are the regulations? 
- What are the changes? 
- What do people misunderstand? 
- Are the fines real?

Once you understand the act you'll feel better and won't need two aspirins.
