Statement by John Arensmeyer, CEO, Small Business Majority:
Lawmakers in opposition to the Affordable Care Act have been calling one Congressional hearing after another in their attempt to discredit the new law. But research we've submitted for hearings this week and last month on how the law impacts the economy clearly shows the ACA holds tremendous benefits for small businesses and the economy as a whole. If the law's opponents want to help rebuild our struggling economy and create jobs like they claim, they should focus on strengthening the Act instead of trying to tear it down.

Statement by John Arensmeyer, CEO, Small Business Majority:
The Senate's defeat today of an amendment aimed at repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act allows us to get back to focusing on the issues that matter most to America's 28 million small businesses: lowering skyrocketing healthcare costs and repairing our fragile economy. It's time we concentrate on implementing the law and its myriad benefits instead of wasting time rehashing old debates.

Statement by John Arensmeyer, CEO, Small Business Majority:
The Senate's bipartisan vote today to fix the 1099 reporting requirement in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the first step toward getting small businesses relief from a provision that would unduly burden already-struggling entrepreneurs. Fixing this provision will allow us to refocus our efforts toward smooth implementation of the law and ensure America's 28 million small businesses receive the myriad benefits it provides.

Statement by John Arensmeyer, CEO, Small Business Majority:
The House of Representatives' passage today of legislation aimed at repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a giant step backwards for small businesses. Repealing the Affordable Care Act would deny small employers many of the benefits the law provides, including small business tax credits and insurance exchanges. Todays vote is political posturing that will do nothing to create jobs and help small businesses thrive. In fact, it will do the opposite.

Statement by John Arensmeyer, CEO, Small Business Majority:
Over the past several years, small businesses have seen their health insurance premiums increase exponentially, making controlling costs their No. 1 priority in healthcare reform. The regulations the Department of Health and Human Services issued today aim to address these growing costs and get small businesses some relief from exorbitant rate hikes, which will enable them to spend less on premiums and more on expanding their businesses and creating jobs.
