The Texas Comptroller has published a report, Texas Business Attitudes Toward Federal Health Care Reform, which reveals the positions and opinions of the leaders and membership of two of Texas’ most prominent business organizations.

To prepare this report, Texas members of the National Federation of Independent Business and the Texas Association of Business were surveyed.

Nearly two-thirds of the respondents (65.2 percent) view federal health care as bad for business while a small percentage of respondents felt that federal health care reform was a positive for their businesses, most commonly asserting that access to quality health care coverage would lead to more productive workers.
