House Bill 2035, currently being considered by the state legislature, could potentially harm small business owners and Arizona taxpayers with its increased level of regulation to health care coverage. This bill is not seen in other states and could lead to higher health care costs for Arizona employers and their employees.
A recent report from the legislative budget office estimates that HB 2035 would cost taxpayers around $3 million in state general funds annually to administer. This includes the need for additional staff at two agencies, adding to the burden on taxpayers. The increased government bureaucracy brought on by this bill would only serve to drive up costs for small business health care plans.
