Everywhere I go, small business owners tell me something needs to be done to make health care more affordable and available to small business employers. According to a survey by Towers Perrin, businesses will spend $9,552 per employee this year. As costs go up it makes it very difficult to continue to provide coverage.

Unfortunately, too much of the debate in Washington is focused on either/or - either we have a government run system or we don't. We only have to look as far as Canada to realize that nationalizing health care does not work.

President Obama and the Congress are pushing for reforms that will move the US health care system closer to that of Canada's or Great Britain. If this is successful, you will have fewer health care choices and your access to care will be more limited. The government, not you and your doctor, will be responsible for determining whether you receive care. You will be "wait listed" for critical diagnostic tests. You may wait two or three years for surgery. You may not have access to life-saving cancer and other drugs. You will pay higher taxes.

You can help stop this government takeover of health care. Send a message to the White House and every member of Congress by signing the petition at:
