Expanding Access to Health Coverage for Small Businesses

During the 2020 Maryland General Assembly Legislative Session, we are supporting legislation that will be sponsored by Senator Katie Fry Hester and Delegate Robbyn Lewis to help small business owners provide health coverage for their workers by expanding tax credits and resources to educate small businesses about the Maryland Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) through the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange.

• Read the memo of our proposal and PowerPoint we presented to the Health Insurance Coverage Protection Commission.
• See recent polling and Maryland Matters article which shows that this ideas has overwhelming support from Marylanders across the political spectrum.
• Learn about health coverage options currently available to small businesses through SHOP.
