WCHS-WV reports that taxes imposed by Obamacare are hiking costs for small businesses.
Small business owners say that their healthcare premiums have been raised by about 3 percent since the taxes have gone into effect.
Local insurance agent Joseph Deacon told WCHS-WV that small businesses are not being targeted, they just have fewer resources than bigger businesses.
Tom Susman, president of TSG Consulting, added "We don’t believe it’s fair that small businesses have to pick up this particular cost, it should be across the whole society." He suggested that the tax be pushed back a few years so its effects can be fully researched.
