A recent study by the White House Council of Economic Advisers noted that small businesses pay up to 18 percent more than they should to provide health insurance for their employees because of the flaws in the current health insurance system. Democrats want to reform health insurance to give small businesses tax credits so they can give their employees stable and affordable health care.
