Yesterday, Senator Baucus released his bill on reforming health care. The bill does not contain a government-run public option. This is a step in the right direction!
However, this legislation will be modified and changed as it moves through Congress. CAHR members need to be aware that the Committee is still considering "trigger" provisions that create a new government plan based on affordability. We continue to strongly oppose the inclusion of any government plan no matter how it is structured.
Also, there are some new insurer fees and excise taxes in the proposal that are problematic and would increase the cost of insurance for employers and employees. We will share information about these provisions with you soon.
Look for a new Action Alert to arrive in your mailbox soon!
