A Benefits Pro article spotlighted the reintroduction of the Association Health Plans Act bill and included mention of CAHC’s support.
Joel White, president of the Council for Affordable Health Coverage, put out a statement welcoming reintroduction of the AHP bill and saying the bill could help solve the problems now plaguing the small-group health insurance market.
“Small businesses are drowning in health care costs,” White said. “Federal and state rules have made it more difficult and costly for mom-and-pop employers to offer affordable coverage to their employees. Less than one-third of small businesses now offer coverage, and most say high costs are the reason.”
