Remember when Joe the fake plumber was against raising taxes on anyone making over 250K.

Even though his current salary was under 40K, he was anticipating making over 250K in a few years after he would open up his own plumbing business, even though he wasn't a licensed plumber.

But the story being sighted isnt about those other concerns, its about the concerns of healthcare costs.

Nice try at deflecting.. You almost got away with it..

This from the very same poster who deflected on the other posting.

Hey ovcatto, if your business is profiting $100K, and then your healthcare cost is $120K.. what do you have left

The fact that its deductible doesnt create money out of thin air

The cited concerns on healthcare costs have nothing to do with the ACA. The work to be done in helping lower the actual cost is barely started. But it needs Congress to strengthen those efforts as time goes on.

Um, all of Obamacare has been passed into law already and doesnt need further approval from Congress.

Furthermore, Obamacare INCREASED many healthcare costs by adding in hundreds of billions in taxes. Why the hell do you think they calculated it as a deficit reduction bill

A "bit" more? How about a lot more? Of course it is a ranking.

Has EVERYTHING to do with obamacare.

Additionally, nearly half of small-business owners point to potential healthcare costs (48%) and government regulations (46%) as reasons.
Lets not forget those burdensome regulations obama supporters always claim are not really there.

I assume you you are among those that think the ACA is the reason that Ins Premiums & HC Costs have been going up at about 10% per year for the last 2 or 3 decades. Let's just say, I am not surprised you are among that group.

We all know what happens when you ASSume.. I'm not at all surprised that you are among the group that thinks we can increase cost, and then just deflect on past increases to excuse future ones

Hey mr bob, I thought Obamacare was supposed to FIX those increases. How does adding hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes, and mandating more expense, supposed to drop the cost mr bob.

It looks like more Obamots in denial. Barack Obama is not the real threat to this country. The people who would vote for this inept failure to be their President are the real threat to this country.
