His weekly address on Saturday focused on the plight of small businesses and the toll that rising health care insurance costs place on these companies.
The President said he believes health care reform options will provide coverage for the employees of small businesses without the crushing premium payments.
Barack Obama, US President, said, "Under the reform plans in Congress, small businesses will be able to purchase health insurance through an "insurance exchange", a marketplace where they can compare the price, quality and services of a wide variety of plans, many of which will provide better coverage at lower costs than the plans they have now. They can then pick the one that works best for them and their employees."
