Small Business Supports Direct Primary Health Care Model
March 3, 2015, Tallahassee – Statement from National Federation of Independent Business/Florida’s Legislative Director Tim Nungesser in support of PCB HIS 15-02, being heard today by the House Health Innovation Subcommittee:
“Small business owners consistently voice that the biggest challenge they face is providing cost-effective health insurance to their employees, and they routinely pay up to 18 percent more for health insurance products and services than large corporations.
“The direct primary care model is the most efficient way to connect consumers with primary health care at a reasonable cost. This has the potential to save small business owners thousands of dollars per month while ensuring more workers have access to quality primary care services.
“This proposed committee bill is a good bill for small businesses, their employees and their employee’s families.”
