“The Affordable Care Act & Farm Families” – UWEX Program, December 3

 UW-Extension will offer an overview of what the Affordable Care Act (ACA) means for farms, as a family and employer,on Tuesday December 3 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.  Presentations will be part of a statewide broadcast coordinated by local Extension educators in twenty-one counties across the state, including Waupaca County.

 

The webinar will highlight what this new law means for farm families purchasing their own health insurance and farms, as small businesses, exploring the option of providing health insurance for their employees. The program will also cover requirements of ACA already in place this year, and changes coming in 2014.

 

The workshop will cover how to access on-line marketplaces to shop for health insurance as an individual, family or for employees, and other resources available to help answer individual questions.

 

Although there is no cost to attend, advance registration is required.  Limited seating is available. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. in the lower level of the Waupaca County courthouse, with the program starting promptly at 6:30 p.m.
