hallo everyone.
WOW some crazy crap in the news huh?
last night i heard that Massachusetts is trying for a new state health plan where everyone will be covered. in theory a great idea. but for me and mr. c it was down right frightening. they said that small business' that don't offer health insurance will have to pay $ 300.00 per employee into a state health pool. now i have to do a little research since they never said if this was monthly, qtrly, or annually, but with the ins. shoppping i've been doing i guess it's monthly. for us that would be $1200.00 a month!!!! $14,000.00 a year.
i'm dead serious when i say we would have to lay some people off. can someone explain to me how this would help anything?
i do agree that something has to give in our health system. it's broken and desperately needs to be fixed, but is this really the way to acheive that? i've said many times and say again it feels like state and federal government does not want small business to prosper. heck sometimes it seems like they don't want us to make it from month to month!
i would really love to hear from other business owners out there.
thanks and god bless
