Health coverage a main concern with small businesses

But 39% of small business owners also say the cost of health care makes it difficult for them to grow.

Many small business owners, like me, are covered another a spouse’s or significant other’s plan. According to the surve, 27% use this option.

But for those whose don’t have health benefits through another means, or for those who can’t afford to purchase a plan, they are simply going without.

How about you? Is health care an issue for you and your business?
