The Kennedy and the House Bills

The Affordable Health Choices Act (S. 1679) introduced by Senator Kennedy (D-MA) and approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee, as well as a draft of the House bill released on June 19, are available for download below. NAR has submitted comments to the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee and the three House Committees. While much remains to be determined and all proposals will be much amended, many of the elements of the NAR-supported Small Business Health Options Program Act (SHOP) have been incorporated into bills and drafts.
