100 Small Business Owners Discuss Health Care Reform
Posted by admin
With recent studies showing small businesses’ premiums rising by 15% in 2010, it is crucial that we work to ensure affordable health insurance coverage for this critical part of the American workforce. Democratic Senators Tom Harkin and Mary Landrieu held an event Tuesday with small business owners to address the health care challenges they face.
