The business community is fighting hard to ensure that Congress doesn't pass a government-run health plan that will threaten private health care. ABC believes that health care is best administered on free market principles and supports meaningful health reforms that make quality health care more affordable and accessible, but we cannot support the proposals currently being rushed through Congress that include:
- Employer Mandates: A “Pay or Play” provision that would result in premium increases and more expensive insurance for employers and employees;
- A Government-Run Public Insurance Option that would unfairly compete with private providers;
- An income “surtax” that would fall directly on the shoulders of small businesses; and
- An increase in our national debt.
