One way to mitigate the health insurance coverage crisis

The census bureau says 15.4 percent of people living in the U.S. lack health insurance.

One of the primary obstacles self-employed people and small business owners face in getting health insurance is the high cost. Chamber President Mark Goldstein announced at our December 1 luncheon that our members can now get supplemental health insurance at group rates through Transamerica and Aflac.

We’ll have an informational meeting December 11, 9 a.m., at Belhaven College -- 2301 Maitland Center Parkway, Bldg. 200 Suite 165 -- in Maitland. Representatives from both companies will present program benefit options and answer your questions.

To attend this meeting, please make a reservation by by calling the chamber office at (407) 814-1124. Or send an e-mail from the chamber Web site.

If you are not currently a chamber member, now might be a great time to join. You can find membership information on the Web site. Chamber representatives will be at the December 11 meeting if you wish to join at that time.
