Nonprofits Not Included in Health Care Bill Subsidy

According to an action alert sent out by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), in the House Health Care Bill, a tax credit available to small businesses who provide health insurance excludes small non-profits.

According to ASAE:

The House health care bill has a provision that gives a tax credit to any business that provides health insurance to its employees, has fewer than 25 total employees, and has an average salary of under $40,000. But because the bill provides a tax credit, nonprofits that qualified as a small business would be unable to receive needed financial support.
