Recognizing that many Americans have lost jobs and the health insurance that goes with them during the coronavirus pandemic, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced a bill to allow organizations to offer portable insurance that can stay with an individual in and out of the workforce and across state lines.
The Healthshare Plans Act of 2020, introduced on May 5, would amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to allow membership organizations, such as Costco and Sam’s Club and associations such as the National Restaurant Association to offer health insurance to their members. Eligible organizations would also include small-business platforms for gig workers, such as Uber, Etsy, ebay, and Amazon, plus trade associations and other large groups.
