“Some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle continue to claim that the health care law is actually going to benefit small businesses despite the mountain of facts that are out there. Specifically, and what was argued earlier, is that the health care tax credit's going to make it easier for employers to offset the costs that are being required to provide health insurance. Unfortunately, this is far from the truth. Any potential assistance from this tax credit is far outweighed by the tax increases and paperwork burdens that this law is going to pile on small businesses. Madam Speaker, the American people spoke loudly in November. And we need to make sure that we move away from the health care law that penalizes our Nation's entrepreneurs and place a renewed focus on enacting targeted, commonsense reforms that increase access and lowers costs. Madam Speaker, with that I would urge my colleagues to vote for H.R. 2, and let's get back on track.”
