(Washington, DC) -- A couple of area congressmen are teaming up on legislation to help make health insurance affordable to small businesses and their employees.
Russ Carnahan and Jo Ann Emerson joined ten other legislators in announcing the Small Business Health Options Program Act yesterday.
The SHOP Act will allow businesses and the self-employed to band together in a statewide or national pool to obtain lower health insurance prices.
The bill also provides tax credits for employees and employers and helps cut down on administrative costs.
The bill is a companion to a Senate bill introduced by Dick Durbin in April.
