After a month of closed-door meetings, Senate Republicans emerged last week with a Bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
The legislation, introduced as The Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017 (BCRA), is the Senate’s answer to the American Health Care Act (H.R. 1628), which the House of Representatives passed on May 4.
The Senate bill preserves much of the House’s work while making some key changes that could influence the federal budget and the legislation’s overall chances of passage.
For small businesses, the national discussion on health care policy has brought much uncertainty. Any changes will have a big impact on the realm of employee benefits.
