Getting the Answers to Your Health Insurance Questions
Panel Discussion and Question & Answer Session

Do you find yourself asking: What are the new health insurance regulations and when do they take effect? Who must be covered by health insurance? How do I find the best health insurance solutions for my business? Am I eligible to receive help from the Commonwealth in paying my own and my employees’ health insurance? You’ll be able to ask the questions and get the answers from our four health insurance experts.
