March 30, 2021 No Comments

Taking a look at the nation's healthcare agenda for 2021 New healthcare plans are underway as we inch into completing the first quarter of 2021. An executive order was recently signed that will direct the federal government to open a special enrollment period from February 15 to May 15 for Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges that serve 36 states. According to Forbes, this measure is designed to boost coverage for people who are uninsured. The goal of the upcoming healthcare agenda is to improve people’s access to health insurance. The key pillars of the 2021 healthcare agenda include: Fortifying the ACA, which includes augmenting the law with a public option; Expanding ACA for lower-income Americans in non-Medicaid expansion states; Introducing legislation on Medicare for More; Revitalizing public health.

March 29, 2021 No Comments

California Employers Must Provide 80 Hours of Paid COVID-19 Supplemental Sick Leave On March 19, 2021, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 95, which extends and expands the requirement for employers to provide supplemental paid sick leave to employees affected by COVID-19. The law places new paid leave requirements on most California employers, and it requires their immediate attention. Gov. Newsom explained the reason for the new law: “Paid sick leave gives workers the time they need to care for themselves and loved ones while keeping their co-workers, families, and community safe.” The law takes effect immediately, but includes a 10-day grace period for employers to start providing sick leave. Employers must begin providing the leave on March 29, 2021. The new law applies retroactively to Jan. 1, 2021, and will remain in effect until Sept. 30, 2021. It’s enforced by the California Labor Commissioner. The Michael Sullivan & Associates
