TIME TO SIGN UP
For Health Care Coverage
By Natalia Olson-Urtecho, Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator for the U.S. Small Business Administration
As Mid-Atlantic Regional
Administrator of the U.S.
Small Business Administra-
tion (SBA), my goal is to make
sure small businesses in Penn-
sylvania have the information
they need about the Affordable
Care Act to make informed
decisions that are best for their
businesses.
The Affordable Care Act
provides comprehensive health
insurance reforms designed to
ensure Americans have access
to quality, affordable health
care coverage. Why enroll? First,
increased access to quality,

it easier for potential entrepre-
neurs to go out on their own
instead of staying at larger firms
simply because of "job lock
the lack of access to affordable
insurance outside of their current
employment.
Now is the time for business
owners to sign up for a plan. The
important dates to know for
those who want to sign up for
coverage for this year: open
enrollment for coverage began
November 1, 2016 and ends
January 31, 2017. (There is
an exception to this deadline
for a qualifying life event that
provides you with a special
enrollment period such as marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a
child, or loss of a job. You can also apply for Medicaid or CHIP at
any time of the year.)
With Health Insurance Marketplaces (also referred to as
Exchanges) open, business owners have more options than ever to
find health care coverage. Self-employed individuals and other
consumers can also purchase private insurance coverage from a range
of options. Depending on income and residency, may qualify for
additional subsidies like Medicaid or tax credits.
By shopping for the deal thats right for you in the marketplaces
you may be able to save significantly on your insurance costs. The
Affordable Care Act helps level the playing field, and with consumer
protections like insurance rate reviews and a ban on denying coverage
for preexisting conditions in place, provides greater certainty that
small business owners can access the coverage they need, when they
need it.
It is important to know that if you do not have health
coverage, you may have to pay a fee (or mandate) when
filing your annual income tax for more information go to
www.healthcare.gov/fees/fee-for-not-being-covered. To find
an insurance plan that meets your needs today, check out the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) insurance
finder tool www.healthcare.gov/find-premium-estimates. By answer-
ing just a few simple questions, youll be able to locate health
insurance plans in your state and explore whether there are local
facilities in your area that provide free or reduced-cost health care.
To browse coverage options, assess potential subsidies, and
purchase your plan online through the individual marketplace,
simply go to www.healthcare.gov. As always, SBA is here to help
small business start, grow and succeed. For more information about
other provisions affecting self-employed business owners and other
small business requirements under the Affordable Care Act, go to
www.sba.gov/healthcare.

Care Act (ACA)

Provision in 2017
Most of the provisions in the Affordable Care
Act (the massive healthcare legislation also known
as Obamacare) have been implemented, including
insurance mandates for individuals and most
employers. But another significant change did not
take effect until January 1, 2017. This change could
alternate the way the law works in many states.
Under little-known Section 1332 of the law,
beginning in 2017 the federal government can grant
a waiver for state innovation to individual states
allowing them to revise parts of the law. For instance,
an individual state could shut down their insurance
exchange or even eliminate the individual and
employer insurance mandates. Another potential
option is to create a single-payor system as Vermont
unsuccessfully tried to do. Montana has also
announced intentions to use a single-payor plan.
Insurers in Pennsylvania requested an average
rate increase of 32.5 percent for individual market-
1332 is to give some control back to the states much in the way that they can enact
laws governing other federal-sponsored programs like Medicaid.
The decision of whether to grant the waiver is left to the Secretary of Human
and Health Services, who reports to Congress, after a period of public comment.
If a state receives a waiver, it would be compensated for the aggregate amount of
eligible federal subsidies and tax credits that cant be paid due to the structure of
the state plan.
However, now that nation has elected Donald Trump to the White House, the
president-elect has vowed to repeal and replace Obamacare as one of his first
tasks in office. It remains to be seen how long this American Care Act provision
will last.
But lets be clear: Section 1332 doesnt provide carte blanche for the states to
wipe out Obamacare before President-elect Trump even takes office. Instead, it
gives the states an opportunity to develop plans in furtherance of expanding health
insurance to their residents. Thus, the states must show that their plans will
continue to cover as many people as Obamacare, within certain budgetary restraints.
Whats more, some Obamacare provisions are carved in stone, such as the
requirement to extend protection to insureds with pre-existing conditions.
Of course, with a staunch opponent of Obamacare taking office and a
Republican-led Congress at his side, the likelihood is that waivers will be approved,
with reason, especially since completely repealing the law remains a top priority
for the new administration. Until that actually occurs,
if ever, individual states may be able to put their own
imprints on the law.

HSAs Offer An Attractive AND AFFORDABLE Health Care Option

If theres one concern that unites nearly every small business owner, its the cost of health care.
HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS have
increased 87 percent in the past six years,
according to the National Federation of Inde-
pendent Business (NFIB). And with no end to
the escalation in sight, small business owners
often have little choice but to pass the increases
on to their employees or drop the benefit entire-
ly a move that may also cost them valuable
staff members.
A health plan option first introduced in 2004
offers some measure of hope. Health Savings
Accounts, or HSAs, work in IRA-like fashion to
cover out-of-pocket medical costs with tax-
sheltered money. An HSA is an investment
account funded by each individual, with optional
contributions from your business. The accounts
must be linked to an insurance plan that has
a high deductible of, say, $1,000 to $2,500
or more. Money from the HSA pays health
expenses until the insurance kicks in. Unspent
funds carry over, so the accounts have the
potential to accumulate significant balances
over years of untaxed contributions and
investment gains. And premiums on health
plans with high deductibles are more affordable.
Employer contributions to a tax-favored HSA
are exempt from payroll taxes, and the employee
is not taxed either.
As medical costs soar, HSAs have become
more popular among small businesses. Plan
features include:
1) The annual contribution limit to an HSA match-
es the deductible on your health insurance
up to $2,850 for an individual, and $5,650 for
family coverage as of 2006. Amounts are
adjusted annually to inflation.
2) The employer, individual or both can make
contributions and each individual has control
over the assets in their account.
3) Plan providers will generally be insurance
companies or banks. If your business sets
up the plan you will arrange for employee
HSAs.
4) To be eligible, an individual must be covered
by a high-deductible health plan and must
not be covered by other health insurance.
To learn more about how HSAs work, visit
the National Association of Health Underwriters
Web site, www.nahu.org. Youll also find up-to-
date information on regulatory changes and
assistance with finding insurance firms and
agents.

ELECTIONS with Republicans Donald Trump challenger Marty Malloy in a repeat of a Special Election earlier this year to replace former
and Senator Patrick Toomey both winning the
Commonwealth. Trumps success was a first time
win for a Republican candidate for President in
Pennsylvania since 1988, in a surprising result
where Hillary Clinton was expected to take the
state. Senator Toomey barely squeaked by Katie
McGinty, winning by less than 2% of the vote, but
his win also allowed Republicans to keep the
majority in the U.S. Senate.
However, Democrat candidates for Attorney

their statewide campaigns. County Commissioner

challenge from Jack London.
In other Senate races across the state, incumbent Democrat Senators Rob Teplitz (Dauphin) and
Sean Wiley (Erie) lost to their Republican challengers Steve DiSanto and Dan Laughlin respectively.
Also, an open seat to replace Democrat John Wozniak was won by Republican Wayne Langerholc
over Democrat Ed Cernic in Cambria County. Other new faces in the Senate include Mike Regan (R-
Cumberland) replacing Pat Vance, Sharif Street (D-Phila) replacing Shirley Kitchen, and Scott Martin
(R-Lancaster) replacing Lloyd Smucker who successfully ran for U.S. House of Representatives.
Pending any re-counts, Republicans in the State House also saw their majority seemingly increase
to 122 with Republicans winning two open seats that were vacated by incumbent Democrats not
seeking re-election. Republicans also defeated Jarret Gibbons (D-Lawrence) who will be replaced
by Republican Aaron Bernstine, and Tim Mahoney (D-Fayette) who lost to Republican Matthew
Dowling. Rep David Parker was the lone House Republican lost re-election to Democrat Maureen
Madden.
Locally, there were several heated campaigns for State House with Alex Charlton (R) beating
Elaine Shaefer (D) in an open race to replace Bill Adolph. Incumbent Jamie Santora (R) also won re-
election against Barbarann Keffer (D) and Leanne Krueger-Braneky (D) seemingly won a close
election against Patti Rodgers Morrisette which may lead to a recount. Brian Kirkland (D) won an
open seat to replace his uncle Thaddeus Kirkland and Chris Quinn (R) successfully defended his
State House seat which he won earlier in the year for a special election. State House members Nick
Miccarelli, Greg Vitali, Margo Davidson and Steve Barrar also effortlessly won their re-elections.
