Bill Helps Small Businesses

State Representative Tony DeLuca is reintroducing a bill that will aid small businesses and full-time college students up to age 30 in having stabilized health insurance rates. DeLuca says everyone deserves to have health care coverage, and passing this bill would make it more affordable because small business owners will pay a smaller fee for covering employees’ health insurance plans, no matter what age they are. He says it’s not fair for new businesses to get better rates on younger employees than older businesses that are burdened with higher rates.
