Kansas chamber: "Health care is our No. 1 issue"

[Erin Adamson, "Health care tops concerns," The Topeka Capital-Journal, 2 February 2005.]

Business owners in Kansas have one thing on their mind: rising health care costs:

The Kansas Chamber of Commerce says providing affordable health care for employees is the top concern of its small-business members, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.

A chamber poll of 300 small businesses found that 50 percent didn't provide health insurance for employees, said Marlee Carpenter, vice president of governmental affairs.


Kansas legislators should work to promote HSAs, reduce health insurance mandates and offer tax credits for coverage to the uninsured. Kansas business owners should be spending their time worrying about other things.
