1. healthcare is a consideration on hiring an employee

As a small business owner the impact of providing health insurance for an employee impacts the number of employees we hire. It is not cheap and constant search for cheaper insurance is a daily effort. Small business owners do the work themselves to avoid hiring more employees. How do we grow a business?

2. Current stats show Obamacare is lowering costs. n/t

4. Good case for public option or single payer.

5. There is no employer mandate in the plan.

An employer mandate was Nixon's plan. Obama's plan, like it or not, has the individual mandate; no burden on business.

[ET Awful]

6. Even if there WERE an employer mandate, the plan also provides, if I recall, tax credits

for employers who do provide healthcare.

I may be misremembering, but I seem to recall something to that effect.

3. Actually, that dumb fsck

has just made an argument for single-payer, not that she's capable of putting 2 and 2 together.
