As a business owner I've experienced the escalating cost of healthcare paid by small businesses in Wisconsin. The ability to afford quality healthcare plans for employees becomes a greater challenge every year and continues to be an issue of both affordability and competitiveness.
We need to continue to push for lowering healthcare costs with market-based solutions that will create competition, foster greater transparency of medical costs, and empower patients. We don't need more government run solutions that will only add healthcare bureaucracy, limit patient choices, and restrict doctor practices.
