Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) joined his colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives last night in unanimously voting to support H.R. 22, the Hire More Heroes Act. This bipartisan legislation incentivizes small businesses to hire more of our nation’s veterans by exempting veterans who already receive health insurance through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or TRICARE from being counted toward the 50-employee mandate under Obamacare. “An integral part of veterans’ assimilation to civilian life is their ability to find jobs and provide for their families,” said Latta. “The Hire More Heroes Act is a commonsense, bipartisan solution that encourages small businesses to hire more of our nation’s heroes by exempting veterans from the employer mandate if they already receive health insurance through the VA or TRICARE. I am proud to join my colleagues in the House in unanimous support of this legislation that both supports our veterans and promotes small businesses’ ability to grow and prosper.” ### |
