A new survey reveals their leanings on the issue.

Small-business owners largely see the potential repeal of Obamacare as a good thing, according to a new survey.

Two-thirds of business owners surveyed by small-business marketing website Manta are in favor of “repeal and replace,” CNBC reports.

Many report that they’re dissatisfied with high costs for health coverage, according to the report. Another complaint is that purchasing insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s health exchanges is too complex.

Additionally, nearly 70 percent of the Manta survey’s respondents felt that the Trump presidency would be a good thing for their business, according to CNBC.

Slightly more than 50 percent of respondents had voted for Trump.

The survey, conducted in late December and early January, included more than 1,500 owners of small businesses.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
