Trump just gave small businesses a big health care boost

Major health-care savings and protections are on the horizon for the more than 11 million Americans who work for or own small businesses. Today, the US Department of Labor finalized regulations to expand Small Business Health Plans — also known as Association Health Plans. This will help level the playing field for smaller and mid-sized businesses by allowing owners and their employees to enjoy similar health coverage benefits as large employers.

For hard-working restaurant operators and workers across the country, it comes not a moment too soon. As health-care premiums continue to increase, these innovative plans can provide small businesses with negotiating power, reduced costs and flexibility.
