HEALTH REFORM SHOULDN'T INCREASE THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS 

When evaluating healthcare reform options, small business owners ask themselves two questions. First, will the bill lower insurance costs? Second, will the bill increase the cost of doing business? If a bill increases the cost of doing business or fails to reduce insurance costs, then the bill fails to achieve their No. 1 goal – lower costs.In both cases, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590) fails the small business test and, therefore, fails small business.
