Evanston Chamber Engage & Inform Series:
Topic:
Navigating the Affordable Care Act: The Business Perspective - PART 2
Featuring: NEW Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP)

Presenting Sponsor & Host:
Presence Saint Francis Hospital

Speaker: Giovanni Gomez, Regional Coordinator of Outreach and Consumer Education, Illinois Health Marketplace,

SHOP will have new tools, eligibility details and tax credits for the small business who has less than 50 full time employees.  Open enrollment is Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014.

As a business owner, it’s important to understand how the Affordable Care Act can affect your business. However, with so many misconceptions about how the Affordable Care Act works, this can be difficult.  The Chamber wants you, as a business owner to fully understand health care reform and how it will affect your business and your employees.  And for those specific questions beyond the Regional Coordinator Giovanni Gomez's presentation, we will have Chamber Member Insurance Experts seated at each table.  We are grateful to Presence Saint Francis Hospital for sponsoring & hosting this event as part of The Chamber's Engage & Inform educational series.
