Oftentimes an individual plan for their dependents is less expensive and a better value than adding them to the group plan. Click the link below to begin research for lower cost dependent coverage.

DELAY IN HEALTHCARE REFORM
In a surprise move yesterday the Treasury Department announced that the Obama administration will not penalize employers for failing to provide qualifying health insurance in 2014. This announcement comes as employers are making preparations for the bill's full implementation date of January 1, 2014. Little else is known about the effects of this announcement and we expect more from the Treasury Department and Health and Human Services in the coming days. We are monitoring this situation and will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
