Cites studies estimating the health insurance tax costs small businesses an average of $280 per employee per year and individuals purchasing their own coverage $220 per year.

References bipartisan legislation introduced by U.S. Representatives Kristi Noem and Kyrsten Sinema to repeal the tax and support the bipartisan solution as beneficial to families, seniors, small businesses, and state Medicaid programs.
