Small Business Supports Health Insurance Mandate

Group health insurance is too expensive for many small businesses and it's not surprising that almost 70% of the working uninsured are employed by businesses with fewer than 100 employees.

A majority of small business owners (57%) say they will support an individual health insurance mandate - where individuals are required to insure themselves. It stands to reason that small businesses would jump at the chance to get their employees covered by individual plans especially if they wouldn't be required to contribute very much to offset the lack of group coverage.

Presidential candidates Clinton and Edwards, both Democrats, have proposed universal health insurance with individual mandates. Interestingly, small business owners, typically Republican, find at least one of their business interests aligned with the opposition.
