Sen. Tester listens to small business concerns
| February 26, 2008 |  View for printing |
Lack of affordable insurance was a reoccurring concern voiced to Sen. Jon Tester Friday by small business owners. Tester held the special listening session specifically to hear what problems these business people face.
“The overriding problem is the health care industry,” said Leo Beardsley, “the lack of ability to get health insurance.”
Beardsley said that in his investment service he works with many small business owners. The largest problem he hears of is health care, he said. Tester, a member of the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship and Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs committees, told the standingroom only crowd in a meeting room at Bear Paw Development Corp. that he is holding listening sessions so he can take information back to Washington to try to help small businesses.
