(NECN: Washington) - President Barack Obama this afternoon told small business leaders that few people have a bigger stake in health care reform than they do.

He says the House version of a health care bill would help millions of small businesses cut growing health care costs and was written with small business owners in mind.

Obama says small businesses have been hit harder than most and their owners understand the need for changes to the nation's health care system.
