What solutions would help small business?

Small business owners, including the self-employed, want to offer affordable health coverage to employees and end their reliance on government-run health care.

Our government can provide solutions to their reasonable requests.  

1.

Make private coverage more affordable for small business –

  • Provide tax credits to small business employers and their employees to keep them off inefficient government-run health care. 
  • Make out-of-pocket costs tax deductible.  

2.

Level the playing field with big business –

  • Ensure small businesses have access to the same choices of health insurance as big business.  
  • Allow small businesses to band together so they can buy health care like large corporations.
  • Reduce regulation and red tape for small businesses when offering quality benefits for employees.

3.

Give small business control to offer the coverage they want for their employees 

  • Don’t force small businesses to rely on government-run health care for employees.
  • Give self-employed individuals the same tax treatments as individuals who collect health insurance through their employer. 
  • Set defined contribution options for employers that simplify health insurance and give employees a broad range of choices.
  • Create new gig-worker Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to help millions of part-time employees access coverage.

We can expand affordable coverage options for small business workers while lowering costs for all taxpayers.
