Small businesses pay 18 percent more than big businesses for health care the same health care just because they're small and they have too small a pool of risk.

I do see women voters shifting to the Republican Party and doing so significantly. And the issue that's doing this is the fear the federal government will prevail in making the Affordable Health Care Act permanent law and how that will hurt small businesses.

The American economy has always been driven by the entrepreneurial nature of its citizens and blocking access to affordable health care will only suffocate growth within the small business sector of our economy.

For those that are working part time in small businesses or who are unemployed and do not currently have health insurance we want to make sure that you are covered.

The majority of Americans receive health insurance coverage through their employers but with rising health care costs many small businesses can no longer afford to provide coverage for their employees.

I understand that in these difficult economic times the potential for any additional expense is not welcomed by American businesses. But in the long run the health insurance reform law promises to cut health-care costs for U.S. businesses not expand them.

Because what happens is as the economy suffers tax revenues go down. But unlike businesses where at least your variable costs go down in government your variable costs go up: unemployment insurance workmen's compensation health care benefits welfare you name it.

There is much that public policy can do to support American entrepreneurs. Health insurance reform will make it easier for entrepreneurs to take a chance on a new business without putting their family's health at risk. Tort reform will make it easier to take prudent risks on new products in a number of sectors.

You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it read it thoroughly and understand that what we're looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses. And it must be opposed.

I'm a parent and I try to take care of my health and keep my life in order. In the last few years I've really had to decide what's important to me and it seems to me that my family and my health are top on the list. And those have nothing to do with show business.

Today's business and health care climate may not be pleasant. Cutbacks pay cuts and layoffs do not make anyone's job easy. But that does not mean that the humor need stop.

It's about businesses nervous about taking on school leavers because of a mass of red tape. It's about health and safety regulations and green fines.

I support health care for people. I want people well taken care of. But I also want health care that we can afford as a country. I have people and friends closing down their businesses because of Obamacare.

The principles we live by in business and in social life are the most important part of happiness.

If you can measure success in this business based on happiness alone I feel like I've hit the lottery.

One of my producers said this business is like a hamster on that little wheel thing that goes around and around. You may have a great day and get great ratings but then you've got another show to do - whatever moment of success or happiness you have you've got to keep grinding it out for the next day.

Happiness is like a cat If you try to coax it or call it it will avoid you it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.

I was about to get a degree in economics when I accepted that I'd be a lousy businessman and if I didn't give acting a try I'd regret it for the rest of my life.

Even though I didn't get a business degree I enjoyed learning about economics.

ACT and SAT each have their own parts of the country. The GRE has its lock on graduate admissions. And so one could blame the companies but really economically they have no incentive to change things very much because they're getting the business.

Some go on to trade schools or get further training for jobs they are interested in. Some go into the arts some are craftsmen some take a little time out to travel and some start their own businesses. But our graduates find and work at what they want to do.

I think young writers should get other degrees first social sciences arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information.

I don't have any problem with government helping entrepreneurs and businesses.

I strive never to forget the real world consequences of my decisions on individuals businesses and government.
