The implementation of the Affordable Care Act has been a big headache for small-business owners, a PHCC member recently told Congress.

Kevin Tindall, owner of Tindall & Ranson Plumbing and Heating in Princeton, N.J., and vice president of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors National Association, testified before the House Small Business Committee April 17. Calling himself a “small-business job creator,” he told members that “the continued rise in the cost of providing health care insurance absolutely stifles my ability to create, provide and sustain jobs.”
