HEALTH CARE REFORM, WHAT WE SUPPORT/OPPOSE:
Letter to Congressional Delegation
Dear Representative Tim Walz:
The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce is disappointed that the current version of the House health care reform legislation has several provisions that we strongly oppose. Accordingly, we urge you to oppose this legislation. Below I've highlighted three of our concerns.
| • | Employer Mandate: The House has proposed that employers be mandated to either provide health insurance or pay huge fines or payroll taxes. This "pay or play" requirement is especially troubling because employers also are required to pay the majority of employee premiums. Even with some exemptions, we fear this provision will slow job creation and delay the economic recovery. |
