Expanding access to AHPs, HRAs, and HSAs could infuse the healthcare space with some much-needed competition. That’s good not just for small businesses but for all Americans.
What does Donald Trump’s second term portend for health care? Patients should hope it’s a lot like his first term.
During his first four years in the White House, Trump took a number of steps to give small businesses more healthcare choices—and reduce what they’d have to pay for coverage.
His administration tried to expand access to association health plans, which allow coalitions of small businesses, self-employed individuals, and independent contractors in a common industry to band together and purchase health plans in the large-group market.
Trump also made it easier for employers to give their employees dollars with which they can buy their own health plans, rather than foisting a one-size-fits-all plan upon them—or refusing to offer coverage altogether.
