Small business owners are sounding the alarm as Congress lets the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits (EPTCs) edge toward expiration with no alternative in place — a change that could raise health costs for millions and force many small business owners to make difficult choices about their operations, their employees’ health insurance, and even their own coverage.
