Call it what you will – a carve out, exemption or delay, this ‘new deal’ means that essentially everyone but the unions winds up a loser.

Like a freight train without brakes, Congress is determined to pass health reform, even at the expense of our nation’s job creators: small business. As the Senate and House come together at this critical time to iron out the differences between their two healthcare bills, we remind them of the harm that will be done to small businesses, especially if certain provisions aren’t stricken from final legislation.

We’re disappointed that the Senate has proceeded on a course that, sadly, has left the constituency most in need of meaningful reform with little to look forward to. NFIB continues to strongly oppose H.R. 3590 because it fails to adequately lower insurance costs and increases the cost of doing business.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act fails small business and the American economy for three reasons. First, it does not make health insurance more accessible or affordable for small business. Second, with its new taxes, fees and government regulation, it increases the overall costs of doing business for small businesses. Third, rather than leveling the playing field across the employer community, H.R. 3590 further exacerbates the inequality that exists between small and big business. The continued protection and shelter that is provided to large business through H.R. 3590 jeopardizes the overall heart of the American economy and endangers the growth and existence of the sector proven most likely to bring America out of troubled economic times – small business.

“Legislation voted on in the wee hours of the morning rarely signals the kind of deliberative, inclusive legislative process you would expect, especially for an issue that affects so many, so significantly. But, the Senate has proceeded on its course and, sadly, the constituency most in need of meaningful reform is left with little to look forward to. NFIB remains strongly opposed to H.R. 3590 because it does not adequately lower insurance costs and increases the cost of doing business.
