Small Business Majority submits comments on proposed changes to HRAs

On December 26, Small Business Majority submitted comments to the U.S. Departments of the Treasury, Labor and Health and Human Services regarding proposed changes to regulations governing the use of health reimbursement arrangements (HRA). The comments argued that HRAs should not be expanded to allow for use in purchasing coverage through association health plans (AHPs) or short-term insurance plans, as these plans do not offer quality coverage and destablize insurance marketplace for other small business owners and their employees.
