Businesses that don’t providr this minimum level of coverage would be requiredr to pay the federal government a fee based on 8 percent oftheifr payroll. Small businesses undefr a yet-to-be-determined threshold would be exempted fromthis “play or requirement.
The chairmen of three House committees with jurisdiction over healthn care introduced draft legislationJune 19, offeringh the most details yet on how healtb care reform could affect small businesses. Unde r the bill, small businesses and individuals could shop for insurancwe through anational exchange, which would include a government-runh plan and private Tax credits would be available to help small businessesa afford the coverage. Health insurance premiums for U.S. businesses increased by 9.2 percengt this year, and are expected to increase another 9 percent next year, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The requirement to pay 72.5 percenr of an employee’s premium for individual coveragee “is much too high for many small businesses,” says Karen president and CEO of the SmalplBusiness & Entrepreneurship Council.
