There are 22 million small businesses in the us who have no other employees on their payroll. Many of them are paying $800 up to $20,000 more annually for health coverage. That's no joke.I saw that story and its sensationalized media. They dont tell you that just under 100,000 signed up for obamacare on the first day of open enrollment. IP: Logged |

We are all getting screwed with taxes, health care premiums, sky high deductibles, etc. And the employers are cutting back on production because they still cannot afford to pay their portion of the premiums. They have to hire a full time team or consultant to manage every crevice of this aca bs. It is not saving anyone money. And it is not making healthcare more affordable. Is it covering more Americans? Well, of course it is because you either buy a $6000+ deductible plan or pay a penalty. It's forced enrollment. Go ask any small business how things are going with their health benefits. Guaranteed they are paying thousands more than before. They are almost better off selling their business off, hiding the money, and going on Medicaid. It's an awful, awful "solution" to health care.

Someone posts their legitimate concerns about their family and wellbeing and you decided to cut them down with your cruel responses. All for what? So you can feel like the bigger man? Are you happy with yourself now that you've clearly bullied someone for expressing their concerns? I don't expect any kind of reasonable response from you. But any kind of decent person would jump in and tell you to cool it off already.
I'm looking back through a few old threads, and must have missed this before. Thank you. IP: Logged |

Trump was actually worse than I expected him to be, over the past year. IP: Logged |

Some employees will now be able to shift into independent contractors and become entitled to that 20% deduction under the new tax law.IP: Logged |
