One of the most controversial bills passed last session in the Legislature was the health insurance overhaul. The bill went in to effect on January 1st of this year, and I’m hearing all kinds of results. I am trying to gather better examples on how the new law has affected businesses in Portland. If you own or run a business in Portland, please take a moment to visit this page and answer a few questions. It will help me understand the actual impact this law has had on Maine businesses.
