--businesses as people who apparently abuse their employees and the employees continue to come to work. That is the irony of this. They have no idea what they are talking about. The reality is there are other job openings for everybody to go to, and yet, people continue to work. The only way you are prosperous in America and run a great business is if you take care of your people. That is it. That is all you have. That is what differentiates you in the world of a free market. I would hope that my Democratic colleagues would recognize that and give a little credit to the people who are out there putting their money and their risk on the line. In addition to my bill, this small business package includes legislation from my colleagues Bob Good, Claudia Tenney and Tim Walberg that will provide small businesses access to the association health plans to build their negotiating power, stop-loss insurance to protect from catastrophic losses, and reporting from Treasury to update small business owners on new healthcare plans. Small businesses make up the foundation of the American economy and have true incentives, moral and financial, to pay to keep Americans healthy. We should enable them to do so. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this bill.
