WASHINGTON, April 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Sen. John F. Kerry (news, bio, voting record) (D- Mass.), Ranking Member of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, today repeated his opposition to controversial Republican-led proposals to create health insurance pools of small businesses, known as Association Health Plans (AHPs).
Kerry's comments came during a Senate hearing on small business health care solutions where he expressed concerns that AHPs would circumvent state consumer protection laws, increase premiums for all but the healthiest groups, lead to widespread fraud and insolvencies, and make only a small dent in, or possibly increase, the number of uninsured.
