Congressman Sherrod Brown spoke against Republication legislation that he believes will cut out health insurance coverage for millions in Ohio at a news conference Sunday.
Congress wants to pass a bill that will help small businesses but, it will take away the patient protection in health insurance. So he suggested to buy health insurance and find out with the small print that you don't have maternity care, emergency rooms, mental health treatment and prostate cancer treatment." Brown said.
The ultimate idea in to help both small business and its employees.
"What is better is to pass a legislation to allow small businesses to buy into the federal employee benefit plan. The plan is made available to federal employees and also to provide them 25 percent tax credit. This to protect the interest of the employee and it will be easier for them to access and to afford." He said
Brown Chose to speak at Medi-lab because it has serviced many low-income people who don't have health care coverage.
Connie Miller, who owns an insurance company that is very much, specializes in small business and individual health insurance had walked forward to support Brown.
"If we want to maintain the current system, and I think the majority of people do, we have to do something to be able to provide coverage for the people with the chronic illnesses. They can't buy health insurance coverage at any cost," she said. Brown is running for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Mike DeWine, who is Republi-can.
