Woman Business Owner Writes Informative analysis of Health Insurance Bills

The debate on the small business health plans legislation isn't over yet. Here's a link to an interesting article by a woman business owner in Lynchburg, VA, published recently in the Blue Ridge Business Journal in which NAWBO's support of this legislation is cited.

Read what fellow small business owners on both sides of the issue say about pending federal legislation to address health insurance cost issues and about the differences in the House Association Health Plans (AHP) bill and the senate Small Business Health Plans (SBHP) bill.

"There is confusion," says Joyce Waugh, vice president of public policy for the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce. "That is part of the complication. The House bill has more questions than the Senate bill. If you get health insurance and it doesn't cover anything, it doesn't help you. Part of that is that amendments go on and the bills keep changing."

NAWBO supports all federal legislation designed to reduce health insurance costs for small business owners and our employees. Let's hope that the Congress will pass something that will meet this objective.
