| Summary: | Examines issues related to association health plans (AHPs), which allow small businesses to join together through bona-fide trade associations to purchase health insurance for their workers at a lower cost. Assesses the track record of the existing pooled purchasing arrangements that are most parallel to AHPs; evaluates the potential impact of AHPs, as defined in bills considered during the 109th Congress, on small employers' access to health insurance; identifies the stakeholders in the small group market for insurance that could have been impacted by such legislation; and discusses alternative approaches that could improve the potential impact of pooled purchasing arrangements in reducing the number of uninsured. |
