Begich Bill Could Reduce Healthcare Premiums by 18 Percent, Study Says

A bill proposed by Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK, pictured above) to amend the Affordable Care Act could lower health insurance premiums by 18 percent, a study says. The Expanded Consumer Choice Act creates a new, more affordable tier of healthcare coverage, known as the Copper level.

That could especially benefit very small  businesses who might have difficulty affording healthcare under the ACA otherwise. The National Association for the Self-Employed is among organizations praising the proposed legislation.
