Health Care Reform and Small Business
Is the primary purpose of government to enable the success of small business? Although achieving that goal may go far to assure the happiness of many of the nation’s citizens, it must pale in significance when compared to caring for their health. President of the National Federation of Independent Business, Dan Danner, wrote in his OpEd piece in the May 27, 2010 Wall Street Journal that the U.S. Constitution cannot mandate buying health care simply because one is alive. But if that is what will be necessary to pay the cost of maintaining a healthy labor force, small business would benefit at least as much as anyone else in sharing the burden.
