If a small business owner like a fast food restaurant or hotel owner or other small business owner with about 40-50 employees cannot afford to pay for the insurance premiums because of the huge costs associated by ObamaCare and cannot afford to pay the fine imposed by ObamaCare, what is the small business owner to do?
Go out of business? Fire workers so they won't be affected by ObamaCare?
Quite a dilemma, isn't liberals? Unintended consequences, correct?
Another reason why liberals cannot be trusted with policy. They rule by emotion and good intentions, but not with common sense or anything based on reality.

I need more information. What are the "huge costs" in real dollars, versus the fine in real dollars? A business that can afford to employ 40-50 employees sounds to me like a sizable operation. Doesn't such a business typically offer health insurance plans anyway?
ReplyDeleteIt's unfortunate that we evolved to an employer-based health care system in the first place, but we're stuck with it. It's also unfortunate that health care is built around a profit motive. . .that is illegal in many countries. But we're stuck with that too. Something had to be done, and I think all involved in "ObamaCare" acknowledged that it was a comprimise plan, and that it was a first step. Since it is now law, the best thing opponents can do with their time is to try to change and improve elements that don't work well. . .right? :)
