Association. Basically what this bill does is that the primary reason is to increase coverage of health and accident insurance coverage from $300,000 to $500,000. This has been adopted in 31 states. Arkansas would be the 32nd state, and the rest of the states will follow suit. So, I'd appreciate a good vote.
