VISIT TO GOODY’S
When: 1:45 pm
Details: Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) helped the Bend Chamber of Commerce secure a unique designation from the U.S. Department of Labor that it had been pursuing for six years to allow it to offer health insurance to its member businesses.

This ability to allow small businesses to group up for better options cut health insurance costs for some businesses by 15-20 percent. One success story of this new plan is Goody’s, a local family-owned business. Owner Dane Danforth immediately signed up four additional employees for health insurance once the option was available to him through the Bend Chamber of Commerce.
