We’re Back in Business, But…

from NAWBO ON THE GO

After a historic 43-day government shutdown, NAWBO’s Advocacy Director Elle Patout returns with an inside look at a productive week on Capitol Hill. She breaks down what unfolded during the shutdown and what women business owners can expect as Congress heads into late-January negotiations. At the center of it all? The unresolved future of Affordable Care Act subsidies, and the potential impact rising healthcare costs could have on individuals and small businesses. Elle also shares what she’s seeing in the current political climate: renewed energy around accountability and transparency and very different dynamics in the Senate and House. As always, she offers a nonpartisan look at what’s at stake now that we’re back in business, and what comes next.
