Healthcare

Affordable. Flexible. Predictable. Healthcare that works for small business

Overview

Small businesses are the U.S. economy’s lifeblood, fueling our nation’s growth and prosperity. For too long, America’s job creators have been burdened by escalating healthcare costs threatening their competitiveness, viability, and ability to continue supporting their employees and contributing to their local communities.

For nearly 40 years, NFIB members have identified the cost of health insurance as the number one long-term small business problem.

The status quo is unsustainable, as 98% of small employers offering health insurance are concerned that the cost of providing health insurance to their employees will become unsustainable in the next 5-10 years. Small businesses need relief.

NFIB is committed to advocating for healthcare solutions that empower small employers and their employees with greater choice and control, and access to affordable, flexible, and predictable health insurance options.
