What do you guys think? I'm on the fence. I'm not a business owner though and the rates for healthcare are out of this world.

I dont think so. and if they do make it a law then it should NOT be part of the law that the buisness has to pay ANYTHING towards the premiums for the employees. Thats a bonus and part of someones pay... it shouldnt be expected.

I can't afford health care for me or mine so how could I pay for health care for my employees

prices go up on the goods you buy, and the economy takes another beating...

healthcare is one of those things evey person be granted, along with education...

if only those in power would figure out that healthy well educated people make more moeny...
well maybe we wouldn't be at the the breaking point in the amount of debt we are carring as a country

i think big companies should provide an option for some sort of coverage, even if its not the highest level. independent businesses should not be required to cuz of the evergrowing costs for health and dental insurance....

the company i work for used to pay mine 100%, and to cover my son on it was only like $20 a pay check. that was in 1999. now i am paying $65 for us per check. the increase sucks, but there are other places i worked that charged this rate for just me. there are allot of improvements that can be made within the entire healthcare /HMO system, however the ones who control it don't have money issues to the point where premiums matter to them...
