Health insurance premiums rising for Main Street business owners, employees, with little relief in sight Health insurance premiums are rising across the U.S., and for small businesses on Main Streets across America, there's little relief for owners or employees.

As open enrollment begins, #smallbiz are bracing for even higher healthcare costs. Without the ACAโ€™s enhanced premium tax credits, small firms could see costs jump 75%, forcing many to cut coverage.
