Matt Blunt on Health Care

Republican MO Governor

Allow small businesses to form association health plans

With the signing of HB1827 by Gov. Blunt, access to affordable health care has been expanded for the 88% of Missouri’s employers with 25 or fewer employees. This legislation enables small employers to form association health plans under a common plan design and premium structure to reduce costs and improve access in the health insurance marketplace. This is a tremendous tool Missouri’s small employers can use to access affordable health care, and in so doing, attract and retain quality employees.
