October 19, 2009 America's businesses are struggling as the cost of health care continues to skyrocket. Premiums for employer-based health insurance have more than doubled since 2000. Rising health care costs cut into employee wages and impede hiring and business growth. As a result, the percentage of firms offering health insurance coverage has declined. Between 2000 and 2009, the percentage of firms offering coverage fell from 69 to 60.4 percent. Small businesses in particular struggle under the current health care system.Meena Seshamani, MD, PhD, Director of Policy Analysis, HHS Office of Health Reform and Ellen Montz . . .
