ERIC Sends Letter to House in Opposition of Shadegg Amendment

ERIC this afternoon sent a letter to all Members of the House of Representatives in opposition to the possible inclusion of an amendment by Representative John Shadegg (R-AZ) in the House health care reform bill (H.R. 3962).

The Shadegg Amendment, if included, would impose state litigation on health plans now uniformly regulated under ERISA.

The House Committee on Rules is currently considering the bill in order to take the bill to the full House for consideration.

A link to the letter appears below.
