An insurance regulators' poll of small businesses finds nearly two thirds of owners lack the know-how to pick a health plan fitting their company's finances and workers' needs.
The survey was done by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, which said its findings highlight the need for more insurance education, even as the debate over national health care reform continues around the country.
