Chuck Schumer Blames ObamaCare for Premium Increases

Somehow it's just not as satisfying being right, as I'd hoped.

Oh well. I'm looking FORWARD to getting arrested for non compliance. I will never comply with this horse shit.
smart business, I had the same mindset which I put to excellent use for over a decade. In my case, the cost was offset by quality employees doing a quality job, and that led to consistently growing the business, and that increased profits. Win Win. Reputation outweighs advertising cost ... word of mouth FREE, advertising, not so much.

As for other small business owners (unlike yourself) that have substandard ins, they qualify for SHOP, and receive tax credits to offset their bottomline. IMO until the program grows some legs nobody knows exactly how this is going to play out. Originally Posted by CJ7

With Hillary waiting in the wings, the Democrats will keep the Executive Branch for the next 11 years. And even if the Republicans could capture the Senate, there would never be enough of a majority to override a Presidential Veto.

So, our agent just get with the program, and be done with it. That is what we are doing.

Jackie, you got some excellent advice from your agent. The old saying applies in this instance, "you can't fight city hall."

And one other thing. Keep in mind, the enforcement wing of this entire law is the IRS.

Most small business owners learn to avoid anything that will give the IRS a reason to come snooping around. Once they walk through the door, they usually do not leave until they have made your life a tad miserable.

When Obama Care becomes fully implemented, I look for the IRS to use their new found authority to do just that to those businesses that refuse to obey the Law.
