Responses to Biden: Small Businesses, and the Morality of it All

On Monday the Vice President asked for your help in a new Reality Check – debunking the myth that health insurance reform is not needed or not important to the American people.

For those who do want charts with their personal stories, read the CEA Report on how reform will help small businesses, the HHS report on how Americans have been getting less care for greater cost, or another CEA report on the dire projections for the future -- 72 million without insurance by 2040 in the absence of reform, for starters.
