Healthcare Reform: The Industries That Might Have To Pay

I own and have owned my businesses for 30 years...I would ask my best staff to analyze the liability of stepping up to the plate and participating in the healthcare reform vs. creating a second company to co-exist under the threshold.

I probably would elect to provide the healthcare option if it was just money..the pass along expense would just result in higher product prices..I think that is called inflation in some cases...

However, if there is a fine or jail term associated with it, I would immediately sell off any asset that was above the 500k threshold or reduce my company size to make sure it never got above and put anyone at risk...the legal costs to be safe outway any reason to participate. The large companies would obviously suffer the same thing GM did when costs of employees took them out of the competitive business...Now, they cannot fail...but Uncle pays in anycase...as would be the case for small business...Its a reciept to downsize American business...
