Missouri legislation signed Friday, July 14, may increase entrée to affordable healthcare for employees of small businesses. The new law would create it easier for Missouri's small employers to join with larger employers to shape association health plans.
Association health plans permit separate employers to join together to purchase group health care as a single employer.
"This important piece of legislation would provide many of our small businesses with the opportunity to offer affordable health insurance coverage to their employees," Missouri Governor Matt Blunt said. "This legislation gives our small businesses, which represent the largest and fastest growing segment of our economy, access to the same purchasing power larger companies already enjoy."
House Bill 1827, sponsored by Rep. Jay Wasson, would augment access to healthcare. The bill expands eligibility for association health plans by decreasing the obligation for the number of members in an association from 100 to 50.
