The Employee Health Bill
Tax credit helps small firms pay employee health premiums
Providing for Small Business Health Care Premiums Contribution Tax Credit.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, small businesses could get a tax break for paying part of their workers' health insurance, making coverage cheaper for employees.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The credit could encourage more small firms to help cover health costs, so workers get better insurance without big price hikes, but it will cost the state less tax revenue.
