Bubbling up from the states may be good ideas like this. While not a silver bullet, the ability for people to get into associated plans should reduce premiums and increase access to healthcare insurance. Here’s Georgia’s governor on the plan:
“The Health Insurance Partnership allows for available, accessible and affordable healthcare options for small business owners and employees, promoting personal ownership and responsibility for their healthcare decisions,” said Governor Sonny Perdue. “Small business owners have faced soaring healthcare costs and many have been forced to drop health insurance. This plan allows small employers to join a private insurance plan and offer employees coverage options, similar to the healthcare options given to workers at larger employers.”
