House Health Care Bill Will Hurt Small Businesses: A Reply to My Critics

House Health Care Bill Will Hurt Small Businesses: A Reply to My Critics:

On August 28, Igor Volsky, a health care researcher and blogger at the Center for American Progress, posted a story claiming The Heritage Foundation released a biased report on the effects of the employer play-or-pay mandates contained in the health care bills currently working their way through Congress.[1] Sadly, it is Volsky who is misleading policymakers.

Myth: 'The four health care bills before Congress require large employers to either provide coverage to their workers or pay a tax to finance the expansion of health care coverage.'

Fact: Many small businesses are large enough to qualify under the bills."
