What's in the Health Care Bill for Small Businesses?

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act will ensure that all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care and significantly reduce long-term health care costs. Small businesses will see a number of benefits as a result of this law, including cost controls, insurance exchanges where business can buy affordable coverage and tax credits.

This video identifies the problem, increasing health care costs, but does nothing to address them. Covering more people can do only one thing...cost more money.

Real reform would include tort reform, shopping across state lines (increasing competition), offering different levels of plans including basic coverage for catastrophic events rather than only the one-size, fits-all, comprehensive plans. Medical savings accounts that don't expire every year would allow people to self-insure.

I'm glad most of the Democrats are working in the best interests of the middle and lower classes, as well as for the small businesses.
