Where will small businesses get the money to fulfill Obama’s health insurance mandates?
What gives Obama the right to saddle small businesses with government required health insurance?
If Obama thinks everyone should have it maybe he should require people to buy their own policy. Why is it an employers responsibility to provide it?
fangtaiyang: Spoken like a person that has never and will never own or manage a business in your life. Go buy yourself a clue.
I am not sure, but as to why? It is because the American people voted Obama in to bring in these changes.
I am amazed that so many Americans are not aware about Obama’s healthcare plans. http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/index.php/world/us_democrats_reveal_health_care_plan During the election, he campaigned for these changes http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/table/2008/oct/01/uselections.healthcare stating that he felt it was unfair to have a system where insurance companies try to escape paying claims. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1cxyjHsK0M In addition, insurance company executives have admitted this. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/26/us-healthcare-obama-barack-change They admit that they drive up costs, buy politicians and refuse to pay for valid claims.
Remember, he was elected to bring in these changes, elected by the American people who want healthcare reform. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erspfMkqLN4 And he discussed his plans in debates with McCain, and he still won the election.
First of all, too many people do not know that Obama wants to make insurance more available to all. His system is similar to that which works in Holland and Switzerland. http://www.commonwealthfund.org/Content/Publications/In-the-Literature/2008/May/Universal-Mandatory-Health-Insurance-in-The-Netherlands–A-Model-for-the-United-States.aspx It works there and private healthcare companies provide most the insurance to the people there.
FACT – the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet.
FACT – the US has higher death rates for kids aged under five than western European countries with universal health coverage.
That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, the Netherlands, Cuba, Switzerland, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage. And no western European nation with universal healthcare has moved away from it.

I read that a business making $500,000 a year, which isn’t much, would need to lay off someone making $40,000 to $50,000 a year or employees earning that much combined to afford the penalty they would face if they don’t offer it.

That is a red herring thrown out by the opposition to health care reform. Small business as well as large business can and do afford to pay for the health insurance of their employees. If a business is so shaky the it cannot, it is an insolvent business.

What the Small Business Aministration think about health care reform:
"There is no hope of correcting these inequities until we have something close to universal participation of all individuals in some form of health care coverage. NSBA’s plan for ensuring that all Americans have health coverage can be simply summarized: 1) require everyone to have a basic level of coverage; 2) reform the insurance system so no one can be denied coverage and so costs are fairly spread; and 3) institute a system of subsidies, based upon family income, so that everyone can afford coverage."

That’s something I don’t understand either! If the small businessman has to PAY for their employees healthcare, can he pass on that cost to THEM or NOT!? Right now, each employee pays a deductible for their plan. Does Obama’s idea mean, only the businessman coughs up the money and the employees don’t!?? I think the fairest way, is for each individual to pay his OWN share. That’s how Socialized Medicine is supposed to work! In a small country that kind of plan could possibly work, but you are looking at a Northern Hemisphere continent!! with millions of more people to consider!! Are there going to be enough doctors and nurses? and what KIND of care will they be able to give their patients!? If I am not mistaken, doctor’s and nurses fell into the lowest paid classification employees in that country! Is that is what’s going to happen here??

Cons Cons Cons did you ever think that lowering the health premiums that many many more small businesses would be able to offer insurance to employee’s. Yes insolvent businesses might go under (mainly con businesses waiting for cooperate welfare) but well run businesses will be able to add employee’s because of the cost savings. So as usual you cons have it backwards.

Another step in implementing Obamism. Let me give you a good example of just how great it is when unelected federal officials control.
Under the communist administration in Russia, the government controlled the automobile industry. (sound familiar so far?) During this same period the automobile industry in the United States was the world standard. Summary: How many people around the world are driving, or for that matter has ever heard of LADA, the only Russian model available to the general public. One further note; The Russians brought in, you guessed it, Fiat to fix their industry. (another sound familiar)
Now the Obama/Pelosi/Reed/Kennedy/Byrd/Dodd/Wrangel/Frank co-operative want to take over control of our health.
Obamism, socialism, communism: You choose. Oops! Sorry, choice will probably not be allowed under the "New World" regime.

According to the Democrats who WROTE it, there is literally no possibility of paying for it. They were bold/stupid enough to go ON TV and say they knew they would have to LIE about the costs to "sell it."

Here’s what one group of small businessmen says: http://www.smallbusinessesforhealthcarereform.org/ And here’s another report: http://money.cnn.com/2009/01/26/smallbusiness/health_cure.fsb/index.htm?postversion=2009012809 And here’s another group of small businessmen: http://www.smallbusiness4health.org/
Whatever you do, don’t read them though. It might interfere with your ability to continue trying to use scare tactics to defeat health care reform.

Small businesses with 25 workers or more can choose from a plan of their choice or can allow their workers to opt into the public plan being proposed and pay an estimated $750/year for each employee…if this is the plan that emerges from committees in Congress and the Senate. The public plan being proposed is designed to keep insurance costs under control in the private sector; however, insurance lobbyists outnumber our elected representatives by approximately 10 to 1, so lobbying is HEAVY throughout Capital Hill, and many of these elected representatives (who supposedly represent OUR interests) are invested/own stock in health care industries such as insurance, HMOs, pharmaceuticals, etc., so one has to wonder where their loyalties lie. If you pose this question on whitehouse.gov and specify the numbers of employees working in the small business(es) of concern to you, perhaps they will reply if you check the box that indicates you want a response. I have had four e-mails from the White House thus far, so they do reply.

I won a small busienss with 4 employees I cannot afford to pay for health insurance. However, if I am taxed as a result of taht, I will have to lay off one employee to make up the difference in the expense I will be charged. This will happen all over the country, unemployment will go up, less tax revenue, for all. He talks about the wast and expense in health care, so why doesn’t he tackle that first. Why will their be no tort reform that raises healh care expense. Becuase he is a lawyer, his wife is a lawyter, most o fCongress are lawyers.

Business with a payroll under $500,000 a year will not have any mandates to provide employees with health insurance. That will certainly cover almost all businesses that could be considered ‘small business’. I seriously doubt your business has a payroll of $500,000 a year.
