This is Marty Carpenter of the Salt Lake Chamber with your Utah Business Report.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Chamber and SelectHealth, most small businesses in Utah are still struggling to understand the significant changes and overwhelming regulations headed their way.

An overwhelming 81 percent of Utah businesses say they are unclear about what the Affordable Care Act requires of them. Three out of four businesses are either opposed to or ambivalent to the act.

Employer-provided health insurance is a top priority for almost all business leaders. However, only one in five think the Affordable Care Act can lead to better coverage for their employees.

The Salt Lake Chamber is working to help businesses of all sizes understand what they can do to counter the ever-increasing cost of health care. The Chamber developed the Employer's Toolbox, a set of practical steps for business to control health care costs. You can find it at slchamber.com/toolbox.

This is Marty Carpenter for KSL News Radio.
