LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) –
Stop the HIT. That’s the slogan behind a move aimed at repealing a part of the health care act some say would deal a bad blow to small business.HIT stands for health insurance tax and those against it say it would cost small businesses about $500 per employee per year if implemented in 2014.
Business Health Partners is a busy place where they offer occupational, medical and safety services. With 27 employees they are a small business.
Director of Business Operations David Drumwright says increased insurance costs would make it harder. “We hire new people and we try to offer insurance, but if it’s going to cost us an increased amount of money to insure those, then it’s going to be harder and harder,” Drumwright said. “We’re maybe not going to expand or make more job duties on each of our employees. I can see how a tax like that can definitely hurt our expansion plans,”said Drumwright.
