> GOP health care policy strongly favors small business owners.
Most small business owners that I know would prefer single-payer health care to avoid the distraction of employer-sponsored coverage. Also, the people I've known who have expressed interest in quitting their jobs to start their own business cite health care as one of the main reasons for why they've been unwilling to pull the trigger, and this is especially true for those who have children. But the people I know may not represent the majority of small business owners.
I agree with you, and have been tooting the horn about health care and entrepreneurship on HN for years, but most American small business owners hate the employee mandate and don't favor single-payer.
