cooperative to negotiate a group health care plan

On Tuesday, Governor Sanford will sign into law S.588, legislation that would allow small businesses and independent contractors to pool together as a cooperative to negotiate a group health care plan. The Governor is hosting a signing ceremony on Tuesday at 10:00 am in downtown Columbia.
South Carolina REALTORS® worked hard alongside many dediciated legislators to move the bill to the Governor's desk, and we would like to thank you for your help in making this happen. This new law will be key in providing new health insurance options to REALTORS® and small businesses in South Carolina. SCR leadership and staff are now researching the feasibility of SCR forming a health group cooperative through which members could purchase health insurance.
