“The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) says small-business owners should worry about the [health care] bills’ requirement that employers provide health insurance, and about higher taxes on the wealthy to pay for the proposed benefits. NFIB, a powerful lobbying group and a traditional friend to conservative causes, also says the House reform bills wouldn’t be effective in decreasing insurance costs…. An alternative, small-business lobbying group has formed to back Mr. Obama’s reform efforts. The Main Street Alliance was organized in 2008 as an alternative to NFIB and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.” (Washington Times, Monday)
