MADISON (May 5, 2017): The following statement may be attributed to Bill G. Smith, Wisconsin State Director for the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB):
Since Obamacare was passed, small business owners and their hard working employees have suffered as costs increased and choice in healthcare became virtually non-existent. The vote in the House yesterday was a vital step to ensuring that we will have a clear path forward that includes predictable coverage and responsible legislation. In order for small businesses to succeed, we hope to see both Houses of Congress produce legislation that will not only mitigate against any further damage to the healthcare industry but improve the system overall.
