Small Business: SBA's Health Care Reform Activities

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Small Business Administation's (SBA) efforts to produce and distribute a brochure on the Health Security Act and establish a toll-free health care hotline, focusing on: (1) whether SBA violated certain laws or regulations by distributing the brochure; (2) circumstances surrounding the brochure's issuance, authorization, and distribution to the Democratic National Committee (DNC); (3) whether the brochure accurately portrays the elements of the proposed Health Security Act; (4) the SBA Office of Advocacy's role in health care reform; and (5) the health care hotline's status and costs.
