Washington, D.C. – Following passage of the continuing resolution (CR) that provides for a 1-year suspension of the health insurance tax (HIT), Stop The HIT’s Executive Director Elena Tompkins released the following statement:
“We applaud bipartisan Congressional leaders in both the House and Senate for coming together to delay the impact of the HIT for 2019. This is an important step that will help provide much-needed relief and certainty to 29 million small businesses and their employees next year.
However, small businesses are bearing the costly burden of the HIT and need immediate, urgent relief. We urge Congress to continue to advance solutions that will provide relief from the HIT in 2018 and protect millions of small businesses from this misguided tax.”
