Small business owners at a Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce forum say that cost is the main barrier to them being able to provide health care coverage for their employees.
As the health care reform debate continues, the attendees said that their inability to meet the health care expenses for staff was affecting their ability to hire and retain the services of quality employees.
The small business proprietors say that they pay a loading of 18% on the health care cost for large businesses and that 20% more workers have become uninsured I the last 7 years.
This represents a real hurdle for small businesses, since the standard of staff is critical to their success. Standards have to be high and customer service excellent to succeed in competing with large firms.
Our USA Local Search Business Directory is assisting by providing qualified prospects from Google and other search engines for the 14 million businesses listed, many of which are small businesses.
