Midcoast Small Business Owners Speak Out On Failed Health Care Policy
Business Owners Share Personal Experiences with Rate Hike Law
When the health insurance premiums for Lisa McSwain's small construction company increased by 27% this year, she knew she would have to make a tough decision.
"We've managed to hold on and to provide coverage to our six employees for 18 years, but this rate hike might be the final blow. We might have to drop coverage," said McSwain, speaking at a Boothbay press conference in Whales Park held by local business owners who are members of the Maine Small Business Coalition.
