The rising cost of health insurance has made it difficult for owners of small businesses, including physicians' offices, to provide health care benefits for themselves and their employees. This creates gaps in coverage and fuels the nation's health care crisis, said a family physician who testified before the House Committee on Small Business this past on January.

costs than terrorism and
consumers have more cause for anger as
premiums rise at the steepest rate in a

At least write to your congressman and insist that they eat their own dogfood; "I approve of the Coburn amendment added to the Senate health care bill. Congress should have to switch their health insurance coverage to any so-called "public plan" they create for the American people.
