For the last few years, it seems that every day someone in the media or an elected official is talking about the pros or the cons of Obama Care, or as it is formally known, the Affordable Care Act. But, little coverage has been made on the implications to small businesses and sole proprietors that feed the U.S. economy.

Universally, economists believe that it is the small businesses in the United States that drive our economy. While small businesses were definitely not exempt from the hardships caused by the recession, analysts point to evidence that their job creation from 2010 through 2012 helped increased the overall health of the U.S. economy.
