The PHCC-NA lobbies for a new bill designed to help small businesses provide health insurance through association health plans.
What, you ask, are association health plans? Good question. Even President Bush mentioned them by name in his recent State of the Union speech. He's for the idea. As we prepared to make the rounds to meet with select senators last March, we met a lot of plumbing contractors and state PHCC executives who are for the idea, too. Well, all right. Everybody we met that day was for AHPs.
