In the letters, Chair of the NAWBO National Board Molly Gimmel wrote:
"As you know, small business owners make tremendous contributions to our nation's economy but health care costs rank consistently high among their concerns and impediments to sustainability and scaling. By extending the current moratorium on the HIT tax, your bill would bring cost relief to the self-employed, small business owners and their employees. We applaud you for your effort on this important issue in a bipartisan manner."
