That's the way it works.

I didn't get my $8000 first time homebuyer until AFTER I purchased my home. Nature of how it works.

Small Business will be given the tools and support to provide their employees insurance. There are no excuses to oppose HCR.

It's not perfect, but it's an improvement over the system we have now. A system that has and continues to fail millions of Americans. Change is needed NOW.

Then I sure hope you don't own anything purchased from any store. That ipod of yours... give it up. That car you drive... give that up too. Those clothes on your back... you guessed it. That restaurant you always like going to on saturday night with friends... no more, sorry. That computer you're typing on... turn it off and throw it away.

Think before you say such douchebag things please.

Lower Premiums, Stronger Businesses: How Health Insurance Reform Will Bring Down Costs for Small Businesses

Sorry, I couldn't make it past this "On top of the potential savings created by the health insurance exchange" without bustin' out laughing.


Ever try to take a tax deduction?

"could qualify for" = "monkeys might fly out of my"



Psst! "an average wage of less than $20,000 per employee" is starvation wages. If the company pays a living wage does the benefit go away?


Typical reward failure/punish success approach the left takes to every problem.

Yep, history shows clearly that capitalist Hong Kong failed miserably while communist mainland China flourished. It was only after China embraced capitalist reforms that their economy became stagnant.

The government created the system we have now. You know, that same one that "continues to fail millions" of Americans. Having failed, liberals want to turn the rest of it over to them.

There are plenty of reasons to oppose THIS BILL. The small business mandated insurance for employees is but one of the many.

Next time, try providing a link from the actual legislation rather than a hypothertical article.
