Description

*In Person Event*

Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce invites you to join a discussion with New York State Senator Jeremy Cooney to learn more about how we're working to address rising health insurance costs for small businesses. Senator Cooney's proposed legislation (S8457) will reduce costs, expand choices, and strengthen the health insurance marketplace for mid-sized employers throughout our region and across New York State by restoring New York's definition of "small group" for health insurance purposes to 50 or fewer employees.

Key Takeaways:

• Attendees will leave with an understanding of Bill S8457/A8763 and how it will benefit small- and medium-sized businesses in Greater Rochester
• An exclusive opportunity to provide feedback on thoughful implementation
• Walk away with insights into how to support this legislation and advocate for passage in this year's Legislative Session

This event will be hosted at Greater Rochester Chamber offices, located downtown at 250 Clinton Square - for parking details, please click here.

About Policy Matters

With so much political activity at the local, state, and federal levels, keeping track of the complexities and nuances of each moving part can be difficult. Greater Rochester Chamber's advocacy team works 24/7/365 to keep up-to-date on it all. One of the ways in which we convey our findings to members is through the Policy Matters series.
