Guthrie Leads Bipartisan Effort in Ensuring Small Businesses Keep their Health Care Plans
The small group market is currently defined as 1-50 employees. Without action, that definition is set to expand to 1-100 employees on January 1, 2016. If it were to take effect, employers with 51-100 employees would not be able to keep their current health care plans or purchase or renew plans that do not conform to the new, more onerous, regulations. By being subject to the new mandates, it is anticipated that health care plan rates will dramatically increase.
