SB 48 (Perata):

Under SB 48, employers would have options on how best to meet the needs of their employees.  This could include reimbursing employees for health care expenses, establishing programs to assist employees to attain and maintain healthy lifestyles, contributing to a health savings account, offering disease management programs or buying health care coverage.  As an additional option, employees could pay a fee to the State Health Trust Fund.  These funds would be used by the Connector Purchasing Pool to buy health coverage for eligible workers and their families.
