Washington DC<\/strong> \u2013 Una enmienda patrocinada por el senador de Oreg\u00f3n.
\nJeff Merkley que ampliar\u00eda el acceso a la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y las opciones para las peque\u00f1as
\nempresas fue aprobado por el Senado de Salud, Educaci\u00f3n, Trabajo y Pensiones
\n(AYUDA) Comit\u00e9 hoy. La enmienda a la Garant\u00eda de Elecci\u00f3n para las Peque\u00f1as Empresas fue
\nofrecido durante la consideraci\u00f3n del comit\u00e9 de la importante legislaci\u00f3n de reforma de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/p>\n

La enmienda a la Garant\u00eda de Elecci\u00f3n para Peque\u00f1as Empresas ha sido
\nrespaldado por la Asociaci\u00f3n Nacional de Agentes Inmobiliarios, la Asociaci\u00f3n de Peque\u00f1as Empresas de Oreg\u00f3n
\nCouncil, la C\u00e1mara de Comercio Hispana de EE. UU., Main Street Alliance, Small
\nBusiness Majority, la C\u00e1mara de Comercio de Peque\u00f1as Empresas de Carolina del Sur, la
\nCentro de Asuntos Rurales, Iniciativa de Atenci\u00f3n M\u00e9dica para Peque\u00f1as Empresas de Oreg\u00f3n (OSBHI),
\ny Peque\u00f1as empresas de Oreg\u00f3n para un liderazgo responsable (OSBRL).<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDurante los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, he hablado con muchos peque\u00f1os
\npropietarios de negocios que quisieran ofrecer cobertura m\u00e9dica a sus empleados pero solo
\nNo puedo permit\u00edrmelo. No tienen influencia en el mercado y son como un cordero para
\nla masacre al intentar negociar con las compa\u00f1\u00edas de seguros\u201d, dijo
\nMerkley. \u201cLa enmienda de la Garant\u00eda de Elecci\u00f3n para las Peque\u00f1as Empresas elimina esta
\nobst\u00e1culo al permitir que las peque\u00f1as empresas entren en puertas de entrada donde sus
\nLos n\u00fameros combinados reducir\u00e1n los costos y les brindar\u00e1n m\u00e1s opciones\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

La enmienda ampl\u00eda las opciones al ofrecer muchos m\u00e1s peque\u00f1os
\nlas empresas acceden a portales de seguro m\u00e9dico de nueva creaci\u00f3n. Estos
\nLas pasarelas fomentan una mayor competencia al agrupar el n\u00famero de compradores en un
\nregi\u00f3n espec\u00edfica. S\u00f3lo en Oreg\u00f3n, la enmienda de Merkley permitir\u00eda casi
\n25.000 empresas m\u00e1s, que emplean a 485.000 trabajadores, entrar\u00e1n en el mercado
\npuertas de enlace. A nivel nacional, el n\u00famero de empresas elegibles adicionales es
\n1,59 millones y emplea a m\u00e1s de 32 millones de estadounidenses.<\/p>\n

Al permitir que un gran n\u00famero de peque\u00f1as empresas,
\naut\u00f3nomos y particulares para unirse y exigir informaci\u00f3n clara y
\ninformaci\u00f3n consistente, las puertas de enlace brindar\u00e1n a los estadounidenses m\u00e1s opciones,
\ncomparaciones de manzanas con manzanas y costos estables. Las compa\u00f1\u00edas de seguros
\nofrecer una variedad de productos de seguros en las puertas de enlace, fomentando la competencia,
\nagrupar riesgos, mejorar la calidad y mantener bajos los costos.<\/p>\n

La enmienda Merkley dar\u00e1 a las peque\u00f1as empresas que ofrecen
\nseguro de salud la opci\u00f3n de comprar un seguro para sus empleados a trav\u00e9s del
\npasarelas o seguir contratando seguros como siempre lo han hecho. Previo
\nhasta la adopci\u00f3n de la enmienda Merkley, el proyecto de ley permit\u00eda, pero no garantizaba,
\npeque\u00f1as empresas con menos de 10 empleados la oportunidad de participar en
\nlas puertas de enlace. La enmienda de Merkley garantiza que las empresas con hasta
\n50 empleados tienen acceso a las puertas de enlace si as\u00ed lo desean. estados o el
\nEl gobierno federal podr\u00eda fijar el umbral m\u00ednimo m\u00e1s alto, pero no m\u00e1s bajo.<\/p>\n

Cuando los empleadores participen en los portales,
\ncontin\u00faan pagando una parte de los costos del seguro como lo hacen ahora, y sus
\nLos empleados podr\u00e1n elegir entre los planes de seguro privados del
\nportal o la nueva opci\u00f3n de seguro m\u00e9dico comunitario p\u00fablico para encontrar un plan
\nque mejor les conviene. Tambi\u00e9n podr\u00e1n mantener ese seguro si
\npierden o dejan sus trabajos. La enmienda Merkley no aumentar\u00e1
\nel costo de la factura.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cUna peque\u00f1a empresa con treinta empleados simplemente no tiene
\nlos n\u00fameros necesarios para negociar con las compa\u00f1\u00edas de seguros. Y si eso
\nEl peque\u00f1o empleador tiene incluso un empleado con un problema de salud cr\u00f3nico, las primas
\npuede volverse demasiado caro r\u00e1pidamente\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Merkley. \u201cAl aunar sus
\npoder de negociaci\u00f3n, las peque\u00f1as empresas tienen la misma influencia que las Fortune 500
\nLas empresas y aseguradoras competir\u00e1n por sus negocios. cuando combinamos
\nque con una opci\u00f3n de seguro m\u00e9dico comunitario, veremos una mayor
\ncompetencia, menores costos y mejores servicios. Estoy orgulloso del comit\u00e9.
\nEstuvimos de acuerdo en que necesitamos hacer m\u00e1s para ayudar a nuestros peque\u00f1os empleadores y esperamos
\ntrabajando con mis colegas para aprobar legislaci\u00f3n que finalmente arregle nuestra salud deteriorada
\nsistema de atenci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
