Today Rexburg’s Chamber of Commerce met in our Steiner Conference Room to discuss political issues with our politicians in Boise by teleconference. With so much change happening, and such a demand for good representation in government, we are pleased that we have a community anxiously concerned with the state of our government. We also are pleased to find those we have elected in our county hear us, and are accountable to us.

Recently, Senator Hill shared with us his presentation on healthcare reform. Everyone should have questions about the Affordable Care Act, and how it will effect you. It will affect everyone through taxes, a greater deficit, or a change in you healthcare rate and coverage.

His presentation explains the reasons, and the results of healthcare reform from his political/accounting perspective. This answers many of the questions employers and employees will have. Then it also explains the subsidies or assistance from that will be funded by the government.

The Keiser Group also prepared this presentation that answers many questions regarding the Affordable Care Act.

The Healthcare reform is a work in progress. It may be years before all the elements in this new system are finalized. In the meantime, do your best to keep yourself happy, and Healthy! Prepared by Lucas Handy
