by Mike Pence
Mike Pence works in the tangled world of small business healthcare policy. He watches reforms promise relief but deliver chaos instead. Premiums climb higher each quarter. Coverage options disappear from the market. Business owners face impossible choices between protecting their employees and keeping their companies alive. Pence documents each failure as regulations twist good intentions into bureaucratic nightmares. Insurance companies withdraw from markets they once served. Workers lose doctors they trusted for years. The system meant to help small businesses crushes them under new costs and compliance burdens. Pence struggles to make sense of policies that hurt the people they claim to protect. His story reveals how healthcare reform became a weapon against the entrepreneurs who drive the economy.
