I've been a small business owner for almost 19 years but never afford to pay for health insurance for myself or my staff. (I always depended on my spouse for coverage.)
Today, while my spouse continues to look for enhanced work opportunities, he works at a job that's important, but doesn't pay particularly well - but it offers federal benefits.
So he, like so many others, basically works for the benefits. And that frankly, sucks. I think many of us would start new businesses, go for the gold and gusto, etc. if we knew we wouldn't put ourselves and families at risk of losing the all-important health insurance.
And G-d help you if you have a break in coverage.
I think it's time for a change. Check out the link below and add your boice. It's time for sanity in health care coverage.

We believe access to affordable healthcare is a right - not a privilege.

I agree, Roberta. I think that single payer is the way to go --
Indeed single prayer would be great now only if Bush would do something to improve our health care crisis.
