Eggs & Issues: Healthcare Reform Please join us Thrusday morning, August 8th from 8:00 am to 10:00 am at the Shelden Grill in Houghton, with special guest speaker Brett Williams of Michigan Consumers for Healthcare Coalition in an educational Seminar on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Healthcare Reform in America. A few of the topics covered include: Understanding healthcare reform, how did we get to where we are at today? How will the ACA impact small business, and how the ACA affects large business? Understanding tax credits for small business, and as a business owner, what do I need to be concerned with? How do I determine if I am a large or small employer? How do I count employees? What information do I have to present to my employees? If my employees shop the marketplace, how will that impact me, and more! Brett is a graduate of the University of Michigan and a former registered lobbyist with the Michigan Pharmacists Association and former legislative aide to State Representative Ehardt (R-Lapeer) and State Representative Julian (R-Durand) who now coordinates Michigan Consumers for Healthcare (MCH) Coalition activities in Central Michigan. Over the past two years, Brett has studied extensively on the impact the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will have on consumers, businesses and non-profits. He has done countless presentations across Michigan as well as lectured at Central Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University and Michigan State University on the PPACA and health policy. Brett also staffs MCH’s Legislative Work Group. Please RSVP at 906.482.5240 or send an email to info@keweenaw.org. More information can be found at www.keweenaw.org.
