Association Health Plans Bill Advances In Washington

As independent contractors, access to health insurance is always a hot topic in our industry. The National Association of REALTORS® has fought for important reforms to the insurance landscape to allow independent contractors like our Realtor® members to be able to access health insurance. Last month, the House Education and Workforce Committee approved an NAR-supported Association Health Plan bill (AHP Act – H.R. 2868). This plan would allow our members to group together with other self-employed professionals and small businesses to gain access to large group plans which offer higher quality and more affordable coverage than the Affordable Care Act plans.

This bill will go to the full House of Representatives later this year and will be voted on with other healthcare measures as part of the larger omnibus package. •
