Health Reform and Small Business

As a business owner, you are probably monitoring our country’s efforts to reform our health care system.  The U.S. Health and Human Services Department recently reported that small business are uniquely feeling the impact of skyrocketing health care costs. In fact, nearly one-third of the uninsured – 13 million people – are employees of firms with fewer than 100 workers.  However, the solution is not simple, judging from the myraid of proposals and reports.  The HHS created a website to serve as a central hub to organize, present, and explain the prosposals. They also have a forum to allow small businesses to discuss the impact of the health care reform plans. Visit healthreform.gov for more information.
