BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

House committee to hold health care reform hearing

Reprints

WASHINGTON—The House Ways and Means Committee will hold a hearing next week on how the health care reform law will affect employers.

The Jan. 26 hearing in Washington will provide an “opportunity to directly hear from employers about the higher taxes and new mandates that are in this law,” Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., said in a statement Wednesday.

The hearing also will aid the committee and Congress in deciding how to develop “common-sense solutions that prioritize affordability, job creation and economic growth,” Rep. Camp said.

Earlier this week, the House approved a measure to repeal the health care reform law and a nonbinding resolution directing several committees, including Ways and Means, to craft alternatives to the law.
