When you can put a real face on an issue, that's very powerful.

This report shows that some positive steps have been made toward lessening the time, money, and effort America's No. 1 job creators spend on regulatory compliance. But Congress, the regulatory community, and small business need to come together to do more.

Tomorrow, the U.S. Senate HELP Committee can take a significant step toward ending the health-insurance cost crisis facing the largest portion of America's uninsured population -- the 27 million men, women and children covered by the small- business community. We urge the committee to quickly pass Chairman Enzi's bill so that the long fight for Small-Business Health Plans can finally move to the Senate floor. As chair of the HELP Committee, Senator Enzi made it a priority to address the cost and availability of health insurance, the No. 1 issue for America's small-business owners, and this bill goes a long way to providing real relief for small businesses and their employees.

This is a resounding victory for thousands of small-business owners across the country who for decades have fought to liberate themselves from an unfair and punitive tax on their life's work.

Passage would bring relief to millions of small-business owners and their families. It would certainly ease Main Street's growing anxiety about being slapped with and ruined by a Mickey Mouse lawsuit.

I wouldn't classify those changes as major.
