Law’s Provisions Influence Business Owners’ Choices

Recent News


In results of a survey of 800 owners of small businesses in California, more than half were unaware of tax credit and insurance exchange provisions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

However, when the people conducting the survey provided basic information about these provisions of healthcare reform, a majority of respondents said they would make them more likely to provide healthcare coverage.

"When business owners learn about the benefits for them in the law, they like what they hear and say it makes them more likely to offer insurance," said Beth Sirull, executive director of Pacific Community Ventures (PCV),  a non-profit agency that conducted the survey.
