Better Health Care for All Nevadans
Mr. REID. Mr. President, I rise today to introduce the Healthy Employees, Healthy Small Businesses Act of 2004. This legislation addresses a number of fundamental problems: the fact that millions of hard working American families have no health insurance, they live in fear that financial ruin is just one illness away, or that a family member will need medical treatment that they simply can't afford; the fact that small businesses in this country are facing health care costs that are skyrocketing far beyond the rate of inflation, and that as much as many small business owners would like to provide health benefits to their employees, it is becoming more and more difficult for them to afford these costs; and the fact that this health care dilemma is damaging our Nation's competitive position internationally. ...

Update on the Medical Litigation Crisis: Not the Result of the "Insurance Cycle"
Insurance premiums in California have risen by 167% in the 25 years since MICRA has been in effect while those in the rest of the country have increased 505%. MICRA included steps to protect the quality of medical care as well as procedures to help assure that medical malpractice insurance would be available at realistic and affordable prices. This bi-partisan reform has saved California residents billions of dollars in lower health care costs and saved federal taxpayers billions of dollars in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. ...

Employer-sponsored coverage varies significantly acrossStates, so data on trends in coverage at the State level are critical tounderstanding who is and who is not covered by employer sponsored healthinsurance. In recent years, States have been increasingly active in craftingpolicies for their residents who lack health insurance coverage. In the early1990s, most States established reforms to encourage more small firms to offerinsurance to their workers. At the same time, States expanded Medicaid’seligibility thresholds. In 1997, Congress enacted the State Children’s HealthInsurance Program (SCHIP), which gave States the funding and flexibility toextend public insurance coverage to more uninsured children. This reportaddresses three key aspects of State differences in employer-sponsored healthinsurance. ... [Read More]

US Senator Harry Reid for Nevada
The Healthy Employees, Healthy Small Businesses Act of 2004 (HEHSB) would establish a new federal refundable tax credit to reimburse small employers for part of the costs of providing health insurance coverage to their employees. The tax credit would help small businesses struggling to cover their premium costs and expand the number of workers who have health insurance. ... A variety of studies have demonstrated that business size is a key element in explaining whether or not a company offers health insurance. While virtually all firms with more than 50 employees offer health coverage, health insurance is not available from one in six firms having 25 to 49 workers; one in four firms with 10 to 24 employees; and roughly one in two firms with under 10 employees. The HEHSB establishes a refundable tax credit for employers having 50 or fewer employees. ... [Read More]
