Posted by Kristin Oberlander - Here's a sampling of this week's top health care reform articles. If you find an article or blog that you think should be considered, drop us a line at media@nase.org. - House Democrats Eke Out A Victory On Health Reform [Commentary] (NASE Staff Blog) - "The House bill is important because it sets the stage for what might be in a final reform bill. Unfortunately, the legislation doesn't do much to help the self-employed and micro-business get immediate relief from high health costs. The only quantifiable item providing bottom line cost relief to small businesses in H.R. 3962 is a tax credit. Unfortunately, this credit does not begin until 2013, leaving the self-employed to sweat it out for another three years."
- Entrepreneurs In Congress Say No To Health Care Reform (NY Times - You're The Boss Blog) -"[Whether] Republican or Democrat, they overwhelmingly voted against the health care reform bill that passed late Saturday."
- November Poll: Give Us An Update On Health Care Reform! (The Journal Blog) - "Just in case you’ve been hiding from the headlines, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a health care reform measure last weekend, by a razor-thin 5-vote margin."
- Health Care Reform: You'll Learn To Love It (Politics Daily) - "I know you conservatives are upset about the health care reform bill clearing the House, but let me spin it another way for you."

Meet the NASE Staff Bloggers 
Keith Hall - My official title at the NASE is COO, which I think is Latin for “do what everyone tells me to do.” I’m also behind the NASE TaxTalk program,
although I often feel like I’m under the NASE TaxTalk program. One of
my favorite things to do is laugh, second only to making a difference.

Molly Nelson - I help out with the NASE’s legislative advocacy, communications, and
public relations. From attending hearings on the Hill to helping select
the cover design for the member magazine, I’ve always got something new
going on. I like practicing yoga, running through different parts of
the city, and I’m an admitted etymology/grammar nerd.

Kristin Oberlander - In public affairs, my job is to serve as a link between the
association, micro-businesses and the media. When I have down time, I
enjoy drinking large quantities of coffee, contemplating how I will
cram one more pair of (un)needed shoes into my closet and finding
creative ways to remove my dog’s hair from my clothes, car, own hair
and food. My biggest pet peeve is drivers who don’t understand 4-way
stops.

Maureen Petron - I cover communications for the NASE, which means everything from the
member magazine to programs like our achievement award and college
scholarships (yes, I actually get to show up like Ed McMahon with a big
check twice a year!). In my fantasy world, I’d be a master chef, wine
snob and fast runner.

Kristie Arslan - I head up the advocacy efforts for the NASE, thus I spend most of my time on Capitol Hill educating legislators on how key issues such as health care, tax, and the lagging economy affect the self-employed. When I am not running around trying to convince policymakers to pay attention to micro-business, I spend my time singing nursery rhymes to my daughter and helping my husband with his small business.
