Bill would give trade associations power to pool members and offer healthcare plans
The House of Representatives approved a bill July 26 that would give trade associations, such as Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors -National Association, the power to pool their members nationwide and offer healthcare plans to their members.
“Affordable healthcare is of the utmost importance to our membership,” said Tim Williford, PHCC government relations chairman. “In a recent PHCC survey, 94 percent of those responding stated the uncontrolled growth of health insurance costs was their biggest concern.”
