Kaiser Health News reports on the impact the Senate health overhaul could have on small business employers, offering as examples one with 130 workers and another with seven.

"That dichotomy illustrates a major theme of the health legislation: How employers would be affected by the Baucus' bill varies greatly, depending on their size, whether they now provide coverage, the average wages of their workers and even the value of the benefits they are now offering" (Galewitz, 9/30).
