Since the passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the implementations that are required, including the Employer Mandate, employers of small and medium size businesses need direction and are spending lots of time on employee benefits and healthcare reform instead of trying to stay ahead of the trends in their own industry.

Income Replacement for Business Owners Who May Become Sick
Elite Benefits of America
Why income replacement for sick business owners? If you were well, you would not have a need to replace your income. Right? The ideas outline in this book must be planned prior to anything happening. You would not be able to pick up auto insurance for a wrecked car after the fact. This is much of the same. If you have already been seriously ill, there may still be some help for you, depending the type of illness. When you become too sick to work, this could be Cancer, Stroke or a Heart Attack…
Why income replacement for sick business owners? If you were well, you would not have a need to replace your income. Right? The ideas outline in this book must be planned prior to anything happening. You would not be able to pick up auto insurance for a wrecked car after the fact. This is much of the same. If you have already been seriously ill, there may still be some help for you, depending the type of illness. When you become too sick to work, this could be Cancer, Stroke or a Heart Attack, it is important to focus on your health. Money is important, but without your health, money is worthless.
If you were in a position to receive a check for $25,000, $100,000 or even $250,000*, to help pay your bills, mortgage, or experimental treatment; how would that impact your life? You could even be in a position to pay off your mortgage when you are diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer. A business owner should position themselves to hire someone in their place while they are focusing on getting better and still receive an income. -
