You would think by the way the Republicans have been talking that a clear majority of businesses want the Affordable Care Act be overturned. That is not the case at all, as shown in a recent poll of 800 small businesses throughout Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Texas and Virginia.
Only 30% of small businesses want the healthcare law overturned while 50% want it to stand with minor or no changes, according to the Small Business Majority.

Only a third of small business owners want the Supreme Court to overturn the
Affordable Care Act; whereas, 50% would like it upheld, with minor or no changes.
By an 8:1 margin, entrepreneurs say they’d consider using a state health insurance
exchange, and they favorably view many possible features of the exchange:
A vast majority of respondents support many additional provisions in the law, such as preexisting condition exclusion bans, medical loss ratio and rate review:

I don't really think you want to rely on the Heartland Institute for any of your information. They are a far right "think tank" that has, among other things, claimed that the tobacco industry is being persecuted because all of the scientific findings about the danger of second hand smoke are a hoax. They're also part of the oil industry funded campaign to claim that the science of global warming is a hoax.
They are the ones who put up billboards like this:
And the group they cite, NFIB, is another far right lobbying group that is closely tied to the Tea Party and is responsible for the country having to deal with Rand "Lets Repeal the Civil Rights Act" Paul.
You know I respect your opinions, so forgive me if I have to question your sources on this one.

National Small Business Organization Joins Lawsuit Against Obamacare
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB)—the nation's largest small-business advocacy organization—has joined the ranks of twenty state attorneys general in a lawsuit attacking the constitutionality of President Obama's new healthcare law.
According to the NFIB, small firms represent 99.7 percent of all employment in the nation. That’s why NFIB's involvement is so vital, Graham says.
“NFIB's participation in the lawsuit is very important because it shows that it is not just a political stunt by states' attorneys' general but a real effort by businesses to avoid the deadly cost of Obamacare,” Graham said.

it's brilliant, lol!.. The endless list of indignities and disrespect to American traditions, laws and conventions is too much a part of the Obama legacy to hide, quash or deny
All the roads you promote lead to fiscal bankruptcy.

According to the report, only 14% want it kept as is.
