Small business owners rallied in Bangor to add their voices to folks against the Federal health care bill.

They say mandates included in the bill will burden Maine employers with tens of thousands of dollars in new costs and lead to more unemployment.

They say if the legislation passes as is every Maine business with at least fifty employees would have to cover every worker with no waiting period and would impose extra employer contribution and coverage requirements.

Business owners like Doug Newman owner of Newman Concrete Services say companies that can't afford health insurance could be forced out of business.
