To Whom It May Concern:

In response to the request for information published in the Federal Register on April 14, 2010, the National Coalition on Benefits (NCB) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the interim final rules regarding Section 2718 of the Public Health Services Act which was added by Sections 1001 and 10101 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), (Pub. L. 111-148), regarding the medical loss ratio (MLR).

Washington – The National Coalition on Benefits today reiterated its strong support for the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). For more than thirty years, ERISA has provided the framework which has been a cornerstone of the employment-based healthcare system providing coverage for over 130 million Americans. Surveys consistently show that the vast majority of people with employer coverage are satisfied with it and want to keep it. VIEW>
