Health Care Big Worry For Small Biz
A national survey of small business owners revealed that the U.S. health care system remains a top concern.
Almost nine out of 10 small business owners surveyed said the current health care system is in need of change, with six of 10 saying a complete overhaul is in order.
The survey found 55 percent of small business owners do not offer any health insurance to their employees, citing high cost as the No. 1 reason. Of these business owners, 55 percent said they would be more likely to offer such benefits if the federal government provided some financial incentives for this coverage.
A third of small business owners said they were cutting back on noncapital investments so they could provide health care for their employees.
