Are Small Business Owners Going To Be Forced To Provide Health Care Benifits To Workers

under Obamacare? Is that how it works? Could it put them out of business having to do so? Excuse my ignorance. This is one part of the plan that I'm unsure about. What would be the rationale behind 'making' them provide it? I've heard it's only if you employ so many workers in your business? Does Obamacare provide an alternative if your employer doesn't provide coverage?

• Not unless they have 50 or more employees.

• Dear concern troll, cut it out.

• A gay gossip websiteis the best place to educate yourself on health care legislation fo realz.

• How much nicer the US was for everyone but creeps back when capitalism was regulated...

• Christ, here we go. Concern troll, you are why God made Google. Use it.

• Managing Obamacare. Under the PPAHCA, small businesses with 50 or more employees are mandated to buy health insurance for their employees or pay a fine, or tax according to Justice Roberts. In addition, many small businesses will be eligible for tax credits under the PPAHCA, as well as taking under consideration managing full-time and part-time staff to meet or beat the 50 employee threshold. Will small business owners hire advisers and consultants to get them through this knothole? Will they try to read and understand the 2000+ page piece of legislation themselves? Healthcare expenditures are approaching 20% of GDP, thus spiraling healthcare costs is a significant concern for small business owners.

• I still can't understand why Business didn't flex its muscles for single payer and remove a big headache for themselves.

• Because they are stupid robots R7. The 50 requirement is not new. It existed before Obamacare. Duh.

• As I understand it, "business" isn't the issue with single payer, as much as $$$$ specialists, who'd see their reimbursement rates go down. That and the selfish folks who have coverage now, and don't want to "dilute" their own access to care.

• The New World Order plan is to eliminate the middle class so there will be only two classes left: the elite and the slaves. In answer to your questia, if being forced to pay for 'health insurance' will help drive small businesses(the middle class) out of business, then yes, it will be done.
