"Arkansas SHOP" Opens for Small Business

Jacqueline Froelich

The Arkansas Health Insurance Marketplace, headquartered in Little Rock, has launched the "Small Business Health Options Program"—or SHOP for short. The state-based marketplace enables certain small businesses in Arkansas to enroll in affordable group health insurance plans, as part of the Affordable Health Care Act. We talk with two SHOP staff as well as with several small businesses. 

Jacqueline Froelich is an investigative reporter and news producer for Ozarks at Large.
