By US Daily Review Staff.

Newtek Business Services, self described as “The Small Business Authority,” with a portfolio of “over 100,000 business accounts,” announced the findings of its SB Authority Market Sentiment Survey, a monthly window into the concerns of independent business owners. Based on a poll of over 600 respondents, one of the key findings from the June survey is 39% of business owners did not want the Patient Protection Affordable Healthcare Act (PPAHCA) to be ruled constitutional at all and 37% of business owners did not want the Act to be ruled constitutional in part. Only 25% of business owners surveyed wanted the PPAHCA to be enacted. After the Supreme Court ruled that Congress had the right to legislate the PPAHCA, 35% of business owners now want the Act to be repealed and 38% want the Act to be modified.

The full June 2012 results showed the following:

Barry Sloane, Chairman, President and CEO of The Small Business Authority, commented, “We have seen a slight shift towards the bill being more favorable now that the Supreme Court has ruled, but it is still viewed as an unfavorable position by small business owners. We believe that there will continue to be controversy over this bill well past the November elections.”
