Governor Rendell Says PA ABC Helps Small Businesses
Governor Edward G. Rendell was in Greensburg yesterday to talk about how PA ABC would benefit small businesses across the Commonwealth.
“For the past year and a half, I’ve heard from countless small business owners who have maintained insurance coverage for their employees despite the cost and asked what we could do to help them – and PA ABC provides the answer. In addition to offering coverage for uninsured small businesses, PA ABC provides $42 million in ‘CARE grants’ to help small businesses that already provide health care for their employees” the Governor said.
“I am here today to let all small businesses know that the House-approved PA Access to Basic Care can help them – whether they currently offer health insurance to their employees or not.”
“The vast majority of Pennsylvania’s uninsured adults have full-time jobs and many are employed by small businesses that struggle to make a profit. More and more, these small businesses are forced to choose between continuing to pay hefty insurance premiums and letting their employees go without insurance.”
Additionally, PA ABC will also help eligible small employers who do not offer health benefits. By signing up for PA ABC, the employer, the employee and the commonwealth will share the cost of the insurance.
