Are You Preparing for the Affordable Healthcare Act?

Healthcare is something we all need. When I decided to leave my job, I knew I would not have healthcare so I take good care of myself and hope for the best.

I now have the opportunity to be a recipient of healthcare, with the Affordable Healthcare Act, and it is so much information to figure out.

But I ensure I buy over the counter meds as much as I can to help curb the cost.

The Metropolitan Breakfast Club recently had a speaker, Misty Baker, who spoke to us about getting ourselves ready as employers and as individuals.
