WASHINGTON - On Thursday, July 28, Healthcare and Technology Chairwoman Renee Ellmers will hold a hearing entitled, Small Businesses and PPACA: If They Like Their Coverage, Can They Keep It?

The Committee will hear testimony from Steven B. Larsen, Deputy Administrator and Director at the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in Washington, DC; Douglas Holtz-Eakin, President of the American Action Forum in Washington, DC; William Dennis, Jr., Senior Research Fellow at the National Federation of Independent Business in Washington, DC; Brian Vaughn, President of Nearly Famous, Inc. in Douglas, GA and testifying on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; and Timothy Stoltzfus Jost, Robert Willett Family Professor of Law, Washington and Lee University College of Law in Lexington, VA.
The hearing will take place in Room 2360 of the Rayburn House Office Building. Materials for the hearing are posted on the House Small Business Committee’s website HERE.
