Trenam Kemker has created a Health Care Reform Team to follow federal and Florida developments regarding health care reform and related issues. We plan to include materials that we come across, or prepare, that deal with how the various proposals and government actions will affect health care providers, employers and others responsible for health insurance and employee benefits. Our seasoned team consists of lawyers who practice in the areas of health care and employee benefits who are studying the health care reform legislation and governmental policies. Visit this page often for updates and important links to health care reform information. Please contact us with any questions.
