PPA healthcare reform for photographers

If you’re a PPA member you’ve probably already received the email alert and taken action. If you’re not a PPA member, A.) You should be and B.) Don’t worry you can use the tools they have provided to contact your local Senator as well.

This is one topic we should all read about and understand as it will probably affect our 2010 finances in some way shape or form. So what are the PPA’s biggest complaints about the act?

  • An employer mandate requires small business owners to offer health coverage to employees or pay potentially hefty penalties.
  • New reporting requirements for tax purposes are expected to be burdensome and if improperly filed can lead to tax penalties.
  • There is a lack of affordable health coverage choices despite easier navigation of the health care marketplace.

What do you think about H.R. 3590? Let us know in the comments below.

The PPA Member Alert

Dear PPA member,

As the health care debate unfolds in the Senate, Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and its allied organizations are watching. In a letter sent to the Senate, PPA joined the Small Business Coalition for Affordable Health Care to ask for H.R. 3590 – The Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act to be made friendlier to the small business community.

The message being sent is that the combination of provisions included in the bill are not likely to provide small businesses with the long-term relief needed to ensure continuous access to quality and affordable health care.

Your Copyright & Government Affairs staff wanted to keep you updated on some of the provisions in this legislation, so that you can make informed decisions and ensure your voice is heard.

Have a safe and happy holiday!
