I offer to pay a % based off their time working here. Right now only one is taking advantage of that but the other two their spouses job provides them coverage at a better deal. I offered them something but they both wanted to be paid more instead of what I offered. Not sure what's going to happen with one of them when her husband retires this year.

How much do pay your employee that takes advantage of your offer? Have you been increasing the amount you pay them annually?

Looks to me you are one of the business exempt form the business tax and are eligible for a tax credit for providing your employees money towards health insurance.

Know they will not hit until around January when most businesses are up for renewal as they cannot raise rates until renewals. Its just common sense and everytime you hear the word mandate it means increased cost. You think all those things they have changed are free and will not drive up cost. I'm not saying if they are wrong or right just that they are going to increase cost.

Actually, for the first few years, it's going to look like a great system as lots of healthy people are forced to purchase coverage. It's only several years down the road, as cost increase in both cost per procedure and amount of people demanding procedures increase that premiums will increase.

If that happens, there is a cure for that: it's called the "public option."

You really do not understand how insurance works. If the ins. companies have to raise their rates then what the goverment provides will have the same problems. Just look at the fine example in Massachusetts health care problems when they did the exact same thing as Obama just did. Their goverment option is costing more then the private plans but I guess we should keep ignoring this great example as its to late now anyways. We can have this conversation when the rates jump because it will be headline news.

Re: Obama Care

I heard Rush is staying because the island does not have any room because of all the liberals who said they would move if Bush got elected. Both times.

For a second it sounded like you said that there wasn't enough room in the island for Rush' fat ass. LOL.
