Miceli and the other members of the Small Business Advocacy Council addressed two specific concerns facing small business owners. One is the time-consuming and costly reporting requirement for business owners with more than 50 employees pertaining to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or “Obamacare.”
Miceli told US Congressman Adam Kinzinger that the company with between 50 and 99 employees can spend over ten thousand dollars annually and hundreds of hours to comply with the reporting required.
