Official documents and presidential proclamations report that small businesses generate the majority of new jobs in the United States, though some policy literature notes nuances in how these figures are measured over time.
Utilization management in the small group insurance market. Small businesses are the most rapidly growing segment of the economy, providing one half of all jobs in the United States. The health insurance industry must address issues which are unique to this market. The health insurance product for small businesses must have simple administration for the owners and easy access to quality medical care for the employees. Small businesses have been adversely affected by the high cost of health care. Numerous studies have shown that a major factor contributing to the high cost of health care is inappropriate and unnecessary utilization of health care. Until recently, techniques of utilization management have been difficult to adapt to the small group market. The Celtic Life Insurance Company has been using a managed care fee for service arrangement for the past three years. Celtic has been able to tailor a program for small businesses and maintain complete administrative coordination, instead of contracting with a private utilization review company. Our program maintains freedom of choice of providers and easy access to health care, without limiting access to specialists.

Proclamation 5766 ← Ronald Reagan's Presidential Proclamations Proclamation 5766 by Ronald Reagan → sister projects : Wikidata item Delivered on 2 February 1988. 62470 Proclamation 5766 Ronald Reagan By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation More than 17 million Americans own a small business; and the rest of us benefit from their ingenuity, enterprise, and hard work. These entrepreneurs employ half of all Americans in the work force. These achievements and the American heritage of economic liberty that helps make them possible are truly fitting reasons for each of us to join in observance of Small Business Week. Today, small businesses provide well over two-thirds of all new American jobs, as well as 40 percent of our aggregate national output; the bulk of new American products and technologies; and more than two-thirds of all first jobs. The majority of jobs held by younger, older, minority, and female employees are in small business. In the next quarter-century, fully three-fourths of all new jobs created in America will have their genesis in small business. The development of new enterprises depends on many factors, including the hopes, dreams, and hard work that have always characterized America's entrepreneurs. But it also depends on a climate hospitable to small business-a climate marked by a lack of government interference in the marketplace; low taxes; low interest rates; and the basic freedom to strive for and create progress, prosperity, and o
Proclamation 7704 ← George W. Bush's Presidential Proclamations Proclamation 7704 by George W. Bush → sister projects : Wikidata item Delivered on 12 September 2003. 59974 Proclamation 7704 George W. Bush By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The success of small businesses in America reflects the innovation, determination, and hard work of the American people. During Small Business Week, we celebrate the entrepreneurs and business people who create goods, services, and jobs, and bring opportunity and economic prosperity to communities throughout our country. We also reaffirm our commitment to helping more small business owners and their employees realize the American Dream. Small businesses create the majority of new jobs in our Nation and account for more than half of the output of our economy. They lead the way in generating new ideas and creating new technologies, goods, and services for our country and for the world. Small businesses also reflect the diversity of America. Nearly 40 percent of small companies in the United States are owned by women. There are also more than 3 million minority-owned small businesses across the country. Because small businesses are vital to our Nation's prosperity and reflect the hard work of the American people, my Administration has taken important steps to assist small businesses and the people they employ. We have reduced taxes, encouraged investment, and removed obstacles to growth. The Jobs and Growth Tax Rel
