Health care law part of recovery

As a small-business owner, I will benefit from the tax cuts that will be available to make sure I can afford health insurance for my family and employees. I will also have the opportunity to expand my business.

It is a win-win situation for everyone. After decades of health care control by special interests, we are now on the way to gaining control of our own health care.

We certainly did not get all that we wanted like "single payer" or the "public option," but those will be the next step. We should, like most civilized nations, have universal health care.

Small businesses, families, the work force and young people will now have the security of knowing that they don't risk losing everything they own if they get sick or are in an accident.

Everyone asks the question: "Are we on our way to recovery?" Of course we are! Having taken a step like health care reform, makes me feel better already.
