NFIB

Small business owners travelled to the US Capitol for a healthcare summit focused on the challenges they face with health coverage costs and access. Organized by the NFIB, the advocacy group for small and independent business, the event gives owners a chance to meet lawmakers directly. Rising healthcare premiums have long been one of the top cost concerns for small employers, and participants are expected to push for policy changes.

The National Federation of Independent Business has joined a business group for an event on legal reform in Shreveport, Louisiana. The gathering focuses on litigation issues affecting small businesses, a longstanding NFIB advocacy priority. Beyond the announcement itself, few details about the event's program or participants have been made public.
