John McCain 2008
given the rule change, here's exactly the course of action that will happen. get ready, stupid, stupid democrat liberals who love this universal care. i'm telling you straight to your faces what is coming down the pike.
companies under 25 (or alotted number) will continue to not offer health care. if you work for these companies, consider yourself on the government plan already because in 2014, waiting lines for healthcare are your new best friend. and if congress forces small biz under 25 employees to offer it, those who do get the option will look around and find far fewer employees, you will be doing more work for the same money. raises will be a thing of the past. extras at work will be a thing of the past. my guess is that small companies will not expand into risky ventures, multiple franchises, unless it's a no-brainer. the days of risky reaches will slow to a grinding halt. high taxes plus higher cap gains on outside investment...why work harder for less net percentage return? be happy with what you got will be the business ownwer's motto.
companies with more than 25 (or whatever number is required to offer coverage). these companies will pay the $2000 fine per employee, pass the cost on to customers and employee extras, and all of you eventually will be on the govermnet plan. the fine will be far cheaper than offering the insurance plan. Do you not get that, folks? We will gladly not pay for you, the deserving employee, and happily write fine payment checks to the gov'ment. You are forcing us to do so. it makes no sense to offer cadillac plans to employees when it's cheaper to pawn you all off on what you clammer for, what you voted for...universal care. that's how employers will see it. waiting lines. get used to it. only the higher ups will be able to afford the primo healthcare and melt it into their compensation package. all paid for by higher product costs and lower employee extras. get ready, it's coming.
also, many small-medium companies will split into many satelite companies to get under the level deemed. it's easy to do, i do it right now to avoid ridiculous affirmative action requirements on my companies. all this will happen unless a drastic reversal of misfortune occurs.
