NAR's Strategy on Health Care Reform

On this weeks PodCast, NAR President Charles McMillan stated three strategies to help lawmakers pass Health Care reform.

First, NAR will continue to talk directly to law makers who are drafting new legislation to ensure that heath care reform will adress the needs of the self-employed and the small employer.

Second, NAR will urge lawmakers to re-introduce and sign several bills that provide solutions specifically for the self-employed and the small employer, such as the Small Business Health Options Plan Act and the CHOICE Act.

Third, NAR will continue to oppose any effort to trim the Mortgage Interest Deduction as a way to pay for health care.

Congressional leaders are hoping to get a final bill to the President to sign no later that October 15.

With this short time line it is more important than ever to show our support through RPAC donations and through Call to Actions to tell our lawmakers how important Health Care Reform is to REALTORS and all self-employed.
