Four Reasons Health Care Reform Is Bad For Small Business

  1. Higher Premium Costs.
  2. Ineffective Small Business Credit
  3. High Cost to Comply
  4. New Taxes
Health care is a huge and growing sector of the U.S. economy. Roughly 16 percent of the gross domestic product, $2.1 trillion is spent on health care.

In addition, government is responsible for approximately 50 cents out of every dollar spent on health care because of the huge and rapidly growing government health care programs: Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP, and state and public health care programs. Government financing means government control, and government control means less personal freedom.

The recently passed health care overhaul will also hurt small-business growth by increasing premium costs and raising taxes on investment income, argues John Ligon of The Heritage Foundation. In addition, tax credits in the bill are ineffective and inadequate to offset added costs, and there are increased costs to small business just to comply with the new law.
