		<description>Healthcare provision is definitely every human being&#039;s right. Yet at the same time, burdening small businesses is not the solution. This is a task that the government should take upon to change the face of the nation so no one suffers. Thank you for sharing.</description>

		<description>Chris, maybe you should look a little bit more into how and why your country was created (e.g. what drove the founding fathers) before you label something &quot;un-American&quot;. 

You pay for medicare, EI, etc.. these are &#039;self insurance&#039; policies for the masses. 

If they let you&#039;all opt out, well, it would truly be a world where Atlas Shrugged.. 

Better get that stick o&#039; butter out and bend over, because if we had it your way we&#039;d all be getting screwed when times got a little to rough in our own world. 

You have freedoms in your world because others, along with yourself, make it so. Aren&#039;t you willing to help them in their times of need as well?</description>

		<description>I have no health insurance, by choice, and I&#039;m sickened that I&#039;m going to be required to purchase gov&#039;t healthcare, which is atrocious, (I was in the military, gov&#039;t insurance cost me a good credit score by not paying bills, not to mention care was abysmal.)

Why should I be forced to pay for something I don&#039;t need right now? I&#039;m in good health, and I don&#039;t really feel anyone else should have to help me with my forced health care either. This is atrocious, and un-American. Any congressman/senator that supports this should be assasinated for treason!</description>

		<description>With these inevitable increases in costs for small biz owners, they MUST begin generating more revenues so that cost increased are a non-factor. With the government in place small biz owners are not going to get many breaks over the next 4 years. Take preventive measures and increase your sales... don&#039;t fall victim to outside circumstances.

		<description>For now, the idea of forcing small businesses to pay for health care is purely speculation. It all depends on what reform bill passes.
Health care is LONG overdue for reform though, so the costs that may result are worth it IMO.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Are You Ready to be Forced to Provide Health Insurance?...&lt;/strong&gt;

Health insurance, healthcare, is both an important investment for small business and a huge expense that risks being forced onto small business, regardless of their ability to pay. Now&#039;s the time to educate yourself on this issue and its impact on you...</description>

		<description>I think most small businesses will be exempt from these mandates.  There will probably be some type of back door clause where they will not have to offer group health insurance.  Then most of the employees will sign up for the govt run plan should that legislation also pass.</description>
