How can a mandate which only applies to employers with greater than fifty employees, hurt small businesses? Is 51 employees small?

If you have 49, you are not required to provide health insurance under the ACA. I know facts are annoying things...

What happened to the statement premiums would drop 2500 per family by passing a bill we did not read

In any one year you can figure half the people will pay more and half pay less.

A "small business" is defined by the total revenues or sales, not number of employees.

Any business less than 50 employees is not required. Their employees can pick up health care on the exchanges. How does any of this hurt small business?

The rates going way up.

The leading democrat of our generation once said it depends on what the definition of is is. I can't recall if that brilliance was uttered before or after his law license was suspended.

Sure, kick them off what should be lower rate group plans and put them into Obamacare which has been nothing short of an Obamanation.
