The SU(5) unification-scale relation h_b=h_tau between the b and tau Yukawa couplings severely constrains tan beta and m_t (even more so if h_t=h_b= h_tau holds) in supersymmetric models. We examine the implications of these constraints for the Higgs sector assuming universal soft breaking terms, and emphasize that both of these relations impose unique characteristics in terms of symmetries and of the spectrum. We further study the tan beta near 1 scenario, which is suggested by h_b=h_tau, and, in particular, the loop- induced mass of the light Higgs boson. We compare the effective potential and renormalization group methods and stress the two-loop ambiguities in the calculation of the mass. These and a large enhancement to the loop correction due to t-scalar left-right mixing considerably weaken the upper bound. Nevertheless, we find that for this scenario the Higgs boson is probably lighter than 110 GeV, and typically lighter than 100 GeV. Thus, it is in the mass range that may be relevant for LEPII. Our numerical results are presented in a self-contained manner in section V. In separate appendices we discuss the global symmetries of the Higgs potential, the issue of false (color-breaking) vacua, two-loop calculations, and the effect of an additional Higgs singlet. We show that the approximate constraints that are often used to eliminate color-breaking vacua are not always relevant.
