Hill to Incentive Business to Hire More Veterans

Press Release

Representative French Hill (AR-2) issued the following statement after the House passed the Hire More Heroes Act (H.R. 22) by a bipartisan vote of 412 -- 0:

"I am proud to be an original cosponsor of this bipartisan bill that eases the burden of Obamacare's harmful employer mandate while incentivizing businesses to hire more veterans and providing essential employment opportunities for our nation's heroes."

Over eight million veterans are currently enrolled in health care through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The Hire More Heroes Act would ensure that veterans who have health care coverage through the VA or DoD are not counted toward Obamacare's employer mandate, which requires businesses with at least 50 full-time employees to provide them with health insurance.
