WASHINGTON — With its membership reporting significant increases in health insurance premiums, the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors—National Association (PHCC) used its annual Legislative Day on March 20 to lobby Congress to allow trade associations to provide affordable health care insurance programs to their members.
On that day, PHCC members visited their Representatives’ and Senators’ offices in support of the Association Health Plans bill (H.R. 660), which would allow trade associations such as PHCC to offer health insurance to members at lower rates through the power of group purchasing.
