health insurance or double whammy?

in case you're not tired of this talk already here's an article shedding light on the corollaries of Obamacare on small businesses and its employees. 

"To be sure, the new health law will also impose other fees and taxes, including a $63 tax on each person covered in a health plan starting next year.

The new health-law tax, which increases annually, is projected to raise premiums for small businesses by an average of 1.9% to 2.3% in 2014, or about $150 per employee and $360 per family, according to a report by management-consulting firm Oliver Wyman in Milwaukee, Wis. By 2023, the firm predicts the cost could rise to an average of $360 per employee and $890 per family for small businesses."

what are your thoughts on the different levels of health insurance tax (hit)?

  6. This is so demotivating for the small businesses. I wish there was a way for the larger corporations to absorb more of the healthcare cost
