Health care for startups discussion with Jason

Are ready to jump into a startup but worried about healthcare? What about the new ACA law that goes into effect Jan 1, 2014?

Healthcare Reform is here to stay. Implementation is bringing the largest shift in health insurance delivery since the 1960's. The political debates of the last four years have left the public very confused and misinformed about the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

California is the first state in the Country to move forward with a new insurance marketplace called Covered California. In this new marketplace (insurance exchange), individuals, families and small businesses can purchase health insurance.

• Which level of coverage, which plan, which provider(s), what subsidies, how much exposure to out-of-pocket expenses and how much do I want to pay?

• Should I keep my grandfathered coverage, and should I buy through Covered California or on the open market?

• Should I offer coverage to my employees, or drop coverage and encourage my employees to buy individual coverage through Covered California?

• What new options will you have as a startup?
