Mike Pavlakis, partner with Allison MacKenzie Law Firm, recently took a look at the Affordable Healthcare Act and its impact on Nevada residents. His article for Northern Nevada Business Weekly was well received by the community. We appreciate Mr. Pavlakis’ insight and ability to provide the reader with easy to digest information regarding the legal climate of healthcare and its effect on individuals and local businesses.
“Affordable health care for all Americans. A free and appropriate education for American children. Both are laudable goals. But what do these initiatives imply and how do they impact northern Nevada businesses and residents?
The Affordable Care Act was designed to require that each American is covered by health insurance. With this legislation, individuals are required to obtain coverage or pay a penalty, and large employers are required to offer affordable health plans that offer certain minimal coverage or face penalties. Further, insurance companies are required to provide coverage regardless of preexisting conditions, and parents are allowed to insure their children as dependents to age 26.”
