I am pleased to vote for the motion to invoke cloture on Senator Bill Nelson's amendment to ease reporting requirements on small businesses, which are the engine of our economy. Unlike Senator Nelson's commonsense amendment, which was paid for by taking away a tax break from big oil, Senator Johanns's alternative proposal would deny health insurance for roughly 2 million Americans and raise insurance premiums for many more. We can and should help small businesses without making health insurance more expensive and less accessible.
