Some observations from SPBA Active Past President Fred Hunt
IMPORTANT PREFACE: Let me say that I and many people recognize that careful well-run self-funded Multiple Employer Welfare Benefit Plans (MEWAs) would help the country greatly in providing cost-effective health coverage for businesses and minimizing the number of uninsured Americans. HOWEVER, decades of secret agendas against MEWAs and too many scandals among fly-by-night or misguided promoters have left multiple-employer plans as poisoned ground, politically.
