The Top 5 Items to Repeal from Obamacare
Read NFIB's positions on healthcare reform that affects small businesses.
NFIB is committed to seeking legislative reforms that help small businesses. And, since 1986, our small business members have told us that increasing healthcare costs is their No. 1 problem. NFIB has worked tirelessly to offer solutions and encourage Congress to pursue reforms that will help lower healthcare costs and provide affordable options for small businesses.
The healthcare debate is a complicated one. Given the sweeping new law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), there are many small business owners looking for help on how to comply. And NFIB will continue to pursue reforms and repeal measures that minimize the potential harm from the new law, and offer solutions to the serious challenges that small business owners and their employees face.
The new healthcare legislation was signed into law March 23, 2010, leaving many small business owners wondering: What does this mean for me? What do I have to do now? NFIB has answers.
NFIB opposed the new healthcare law because we believe it will increase costs for small businesses. We remain committed to helping small business owners plan and comply with this new law, but that doesn’t mean the fight is over. NFIB continues to advocate for legislative proposals like repealing the "small business health insurance tax" and the employer mandate provisions. Find out how NFIB is working for you.
