| The lack of affordable healthcare is the single biggest problem faced by California's 3.2 million small business owners and their employees (representing over 50% of the private sector workforce). |
 |
 |  | Over 3 million small business employees in California are uninsured, including almost 600,000 sole proprietors. |
 |  | Health insurance premiums in the California small group market rose more than 50% between 2003 and 2006. |
 |  | According to a recent survey of California small business owners, 75% rank the availability of affordable health care as either very or extremely important. |
