WIPP Urges Action in Support of Healthcare Reform

WIPP CALL TO ACTION - TELL YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES YOUR VIEW ON HEALTHCARE REFORM

Write your Congressional Representatives (both House and Senate) today expressing your support of key principles critical to healthcare reform. A 2009 WIPP member poll showed that 72% of women business owners believe health care reform is needed in order to be successful. 

Key components of healthcare reform that WIPP vigorously supports:  

- Creation of a private nationwide insurance purchasing pool for small businesses;

- Tax credits for small businesses that offer healthcare to their employees;

- Rating reform and the elimination of health status for benefits rating;

- A simplified enrollment process; and

- An individual requirement for health insurance coverage.

WIPP vigorously opposes:

- An employer mandate that includes small businesses; and

- The taxation of employee health benefits.
