Small businesses are poised to benefit from the Small Business Health Options Program but more education for small-business owners is needed, says an industry group supportive of the Affordable Care Act.
Right now, approximately 17 states and the District of Columbia administer their own the Small Business Health Options Program marketplaces, which are being touted as the small-group alternative to the public exchanges for the individual market. The remaining 33 states are managed by the federal government.
