WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Chamber of Commerce Vice President for Health Policy Katie Mahoney released the following statement on the administration’s announcement expanding Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs):
“We are encouraged by the steps the Trump Administration has taken to help employers - especially small and mid-sized companies - provide health care benefits to their hard-working employees through Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs). American businesses and workers have been subjected to high costs and poor coverage options, and the expansion of HRAs could help nearly 800,000 employers and more than 11 million employees and family members by increasing choice and coverage and lowering costs.”
