Small business owners are desperate for health care reform, according to a survey released this week by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. In fact more than one in three small business owners who provide some health benefits for their employees list the rising cost of health care as their top concern.

Small business owners generally agree that providing health benefits is the best way to retain good employees, but the costs involved threaten the success of their enterprise. Health care reform could save the cost of retraining caused by high rates of employee turnover, they said.

More than four in 10 surveyed said they think health care should top the agenda in the next administration and session of Congress.
