Healthcare Information Corner

Ask YOUR question.
There's a lot of information out there about Healthcare Reform and the changes it will bring. However, it seems that most people have a question or two that they would just like to ask without searching the Web or making numerous calls. We have designed this section of the page to help with general questions, and would also like to address specific questions from our membership.
Send your Healthcare questions to mitzi.schindler@aurorachamber.org and you will receive a response within 7 business days. Your inquiry and answer might be posted in a Q&A section on this web page.
