The New Health Care Law- What’s the impact on small business?

March 25, 2010

60% of America’s uninsured are small business owners, their families and their employees.  As we have heard from many of the small businesses that come to the Enterprise Center, the issue of Health Insurance has reached a crisis level.  Small businesses have seen double digit insurance increases for several years. In fact, insurance premiums for small businesses have increased by 129% since 2000.

We are well aware that the new health care law is politically charged but the bill has many items that you may find of great interest to you and your business, including small business tax credits and the ability to buy into group insurance (2014). We hope that you will take a moment to look through the new Health Care Law (Click here to view a recap of the new Health Care Law) and weigh in on what you think about it.
