    Healthcare costs a bigger deal for smaller companies.

    Up to 11 percent of small business owners may eliminate healthcare benefits in 2007 according to a recent survey by SurePayroll, the nation's largest online payroll service provider for small businesses.

    "If you think that we've got health insurance issues now, imagine if 350,000 small businesses stopped offering health insurance in 2007," said Michael Alter, president of SurePayroll. "The key here is for legislators to look more aggressively at tax credits for small business healthcare."

    Benefit Associates follows local and state legislative activity on healthcare and insurace topics. Watch for coverage of current issues in the Benefit Associates Legislative Update. To add your or a colleague's name to the list, click here .
