Cupcake queen to talk healthcare at White House

The owner of Cupcake Royale is headed to Washington D.C. to talk healthcare.

As the representative of the Washington Small Business for Secure Health Care Coalition, Jody Hall is one of several small business owners participating in a roundtable discussion tomorrow morning with Nancy-Ann DeParle, Director of the White House Office of Health Care Reform. According to the “Legalize Frostitution” blog post, she “will be discussing the need for a public health care option to lessen the burden on small businesses who insure their employees.” With 51 employees, Jody is paying almost the same amount for insurance as she’s paying for rent on her three stores. You can watch the roundtable discussion tomorrow morning live on C-SPAN 8-9:30 a.m. (Obviously manipulated photo from Cupcake Royale.)
