This health bill will force the average small business to fire 3-4 workers on account of the hefty fines. I work for http://storyburn.com, and I can see why folks are pulling their hair out over the temp job being the new full time job, China stealing our mojo, Wall Street bonuses at record highs, and people taking a 10% paycut and asked to work unpaid overtime. We have the most read home foreclosure story as well as several job hunting stories

If you have a “pre-existing condition” it’s already too late for insurance. For Obama and the Dems to insist that these people be insured just shows that they either don’t understand the very basic concept of insurance or they just have contempt for the business in general-two very childish alternatives for such allegedly intelligent folk. Insurance is a fabulous risk management tool. There is a reason it is such a large industry-it fills a huge need. Government interference in how we buy insurance AND how we pay for basic health care services has distorted the issue to the point that debate is almost impossible. Almost.
The GOP needs to do a better job of exposing the core issues. Bring free market reforms to the system that 85% of us use and are satisfied with. Government clinics can provide the care now sought by the uninsured at emergency rooms. The long waits, rationing and outright refusal of treatment there will provide ample incentive to get on board with the private system. A “public option” would do the opposite, destroying the best system in the world in short order.
