Small employers' health plan costs are up, says the NFIB

Almost two-thirds of companies with less than 100 employees report health care costs are up this year over last. That compares to 6 percent of employers who saw costs go down. The National Federation of Independent Businesses plans to return to the same 921 companies that took part in the survey over three years to see how they respond as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act takes effect.
