    Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.

    This week is "Cover the Uninsured Week". 46 million Americans are without health insurance.

    Healthcare is one of the most crucial issues facing U.S. small businesses. In 2005 alone, health care costs rose three times faster than inflation and even faster for many small businesses.

    S. 1955, a bill offered by Senators Mike Enzi (R-WY) and Ben Nelson (D-NE) would reduce health insurance costs for small business by 12 percent. In today's dollars -- about $1,000 per employee ; and, would reduce the number of uninsured in working families by 8 percent -- or approximately 1 million people.

    While the bill advanced out of committee, an uphill battle is expected. We ask that you contact your U.S. Senators. You can call the Capitol Hill switchboard at: 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your U.S. Senators office or email them.
