WASHINGTON — Today at 2:00 p.m., a bipartisan, bicameral group of legislators will be joined by Labor Secretary Elaine Chao at a press conference to introduce legislation designed to increase access to health care for America’s small businesses.
The bill set to be introduced — called the “Small Business Health Fairness Act” — creates Association Health Plans (AHPs), which allow small businesses to band together through associations to purchase health care insurance at a lower cost.
