One of our valued clients Avalan hosted a multi discipline panel of speakers to cover COVID-19 related topics. We are proud of our very own Thomas Means for discussing the health insurance elements of this issue.

6.04 million US small businesses have employees, making up 99.7% of all US companies with paid employees.
1.68 million of those businesses were approved for Paycheck Protection Program loans, before the money ran out.
That’s 28% of small businesses, who can now keep their people employed (and out of the unemployment lines) for at least 8 more weeks.
72% of small businesses were unable to secure any assistance so far, including so many of our hard working clients and our own company: PCH Benefits.
We are seeing the vast majority of small business owners digging deep into their personal pockets, against all “sound business-judgement” in order to keep delivering paychecks and health insurance for so many of their employees; even while the company revenue has been crushed and most of the work has dried up.
Small businesses truly are the backbone of America, and we are so proud to work with so many great, generous and compassionate business owners. We are impressed by you, and we appreciate what you are doing for your employees and your community during these difficult times. Thank you, and we wish you and your business strength and good health.

Californians could be required to have health insurance starting in 2020
Identical bills introduced in the California Senate and Assembly would require that everyone sign up for health insurance or pay a tax penalty
U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor issued a ruling that determined the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is unconstitutional because of last year’s change to the federal tax law that zeroed out the ACA’s individual mandate penalty. The ruling is expected to be appealed, and the ACA remains in effect.
A federal judge in Texas said on Friday that the Affordable Care Act's individual coverage mandate is unconstitutional and that the rest of the law therefore cannot stand.
We are thankful for these awesome cupcakes sent to us by Natasha and Evelyn at Cie Digital Labs!
