Employer Sponsored Healthcare is Under Attack in Ohio.
Health Care Benefits for Employees Are At-risk.
HELP US FIGHT BACK
Roughly 60% of employers offer “self-funded” health plans to their employees. For nearly 50 years, federal law and legal precedent have prevented these self-funded plans from being undermined, ensuring both consistency across state lines and a fair regulatory climate. Now these plans are under attack by special interest groups.
Ohio Employers Against Health Care Hikes works to protect self-funded, employer sponsored plans and the employees and families they benefit.
If attacks on employer sponsored health plans are successful, the cost of prescription drugs could increase by billions of dollars in the next decade. Join our coalition and work with us to protect self-funded plans and the health care and prescription drug benefits of working families in Ohio.
