Health Reform Panel Discussion

Panelists:  Allan Eckmann, Janis Carney, Mike Fischetti

Meeting Details:

The new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, has passed and is being implemented.  It will change, or at least touch, the lives of every American citizen and many businesses.  Whether we like it or not, it is here to stay and we should understand it.  It has far reaching effects on taxes, health care services, preventive health care, retirement, and employee benefits, to name a few.  Everyone should be aware of how it will change their lives.

The CFP Board has granted 1.5 CE credits for this session.
