The foundation of our health insurance market in the United States is employer-provided coverage set up through ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. It covers 150 million American lives. We are trying to allow small employers who belong to statewide associations, national associations, the opportunity to band together to create an insurance policy that will benefit not only the small business but, more importantly, their employees.
