With Congress debating how to reform America's health care system, a new survey report reveals that Tennessee's small business owners, including the self-employed, are struggling to afford healthcare coverage and have strong opinions on how health reform should be shaped. The report - American Health Care Reform: Serious Business for Tennessee's Small Businesses - illustrates small business owners' concerns and preferences for reform.
"This study provides new insight into the opinions of small business owners across Tennessee and shows their preferences for health care reform issues," says Craig Anne Heflinger, professor of human and organizational development in Vanderbilt University's Peabody College of Education and Human Development and a coauthor of the report.
