Many of us are concerned with the high costs of family health insurance. In a recent article by chicagobusiness.com, it was stated that our president has made his pitch for health care reform, and it looks like big business appears willing to meet him half way by advocating government intervention. Since the Clinton era, the costs for health care have risen so that, "employers' health insurance costs have been rising by double-digit percentages..."

Increasing costs and a poor economy has created an atmosphere favorable to changing our health care system. Midwest business Group on Health seems to advocate figuring in health care provider performance, that requires public reporting of results to stop rewarding poor quality care.

Despite many business that favor health care reform, there are others that do not want reform. Many franchised businesses oppose any kind of coverage mandate. The majority of restaurants in the U.S. are privately owned and operated and work on very thin margins. Any kind of mandate might cost too much for them to handle.
