Behind The Bill To Curb Health Costs
April 5, 2021
New legislation seeks to stem the rise in health care mergers and acquisitions.
For Jenelle Isaacson, owner of Portland real estate brokerage Living Room Realty, purchasing health care insurance for her 20 employees has been a persistent frustration.
In 2018 she purchased a plan with United Healthcare, but in 2019 the cost of coverage rose by 20%. Isaacson migrated to Health Net, but by the end of the year the cost of coverage increased by 20% yet again. For the third time in three years, Isaacson had to shop for insurance.
“As a small business I have no leverage. I’m not like Amazon or Nike which can get insurance companies to work with them. It’s a lot of wear and pain,” says Isaacson. “Not just because of the cost but also staff time and resources dedicated to explaining the new benefits to employees.”
