Kristine's husband and his business partner own a small machine shop in Milwaukee that their fathers started nearly 60 years ago. The company has traditionally been able to provide its employees with single and family health insurance, but rising costs have made it increasingly difficult, and they've had to modify the coverage they can provide. Last year, her husbands business paid $132,000, for plan that requires a $2,500 deductible. My story is certainly not a tragic one, its just a typical one, says Kristine, the problems faced by small business owners in this country.
Organizing for America has collected hundreds of thousands of personal health care stories. The grassroots effort is building support in communities across the country for a plan that adheres to President Obamas three principles for reform: lowering costs, preserving patient choice and increasing access to quality care.

Soemthing does need to be done about it. We should be thankful that we have a president who is taking a risk to help us change our country and support him in defending our rights and needs. If you find out the history of health insurance and how it all got started you would know that it was all for our (the people) money. It's one of the most profitable, money making busnesses. And that's what you need to know.
Well you see not everyone wants it. I like my heathcare the way it is! Obama is forcing ppl on government run HC even the ones who don't need it such as me. mainly cause he wants control of everything. So now i might have to switch my awesome doctor cause i cant afford the non gov plan WTF give it to the ppl who need it not us! i thought this was a free country where ppl could make a decision to fit them OBAMA IS A JOKE COMMUNIST SCUM BAG AND SAME WITH CONGRESS! they rob so much!
Its situational application of the law, we pay for bogus insurance - Corporate crooks get rich, Progressive utilizes dumb caricature to sell worthless insurance policies. There is nothing funny about death and mangled bodies. Progressive is nothing more than a Ponzi Scheme in which Corporate Executives such as Glen Renwick get rich and leave injured policy holders bogus insurance policies which are not worth the paper they are written on. See Progressive Insurance Has Treated Me as Roadkill
Thank you for sharing how small businesses are hurt by the lack of affordable, accessible health care. The voices of business need to be heard-- this is a huge part of our economic woes. I applaude you!
