SBAM’s Board Issues Open Letter on Health Care Affordability
Health care affordability is a present‑day business challenge, and small businesses cannot keep absorbing year‑over‑year increases.
That’s why the SBAM Board of Directors issued an open letter, now published in The Detroit News as well as Crain’s Detroit Business, to say clearly what our members are experiencing every day: we can’t take this anymore.
