Obama Administration’s attacks on small businesses and part-time workers continues
The AP reported this week that: [A] new provision in the health care bill will require businesses to count part-time workers when calculating penalties for failing to provide coverage. As we warned in in October of last year measures such as these hurt small businesses and part-time workers (particularly students, working mothers, and people who [...]

5. March 2010
At his recent health care press conference President Obama told some real whoppers. Among others, he said that his proposal “would bring down the cost of health care for millions—families, businesses and the federal government” and then added that it was “fully paid for.” And not only that, but it would bring down the deficit [...]

19. February 2010
We are being coerced into an electronic medical records system, which the Government will “keep safe” for us and allow access to physicians treating patients. We are to accept the assertion that the data base will be secure and that our most private medical information will never fall into the wrong hands. Certainly the ability [...]

US News & World Report is reporting that Democratic Leaders are planning secret health reform deliberations. Despite their claims to the contrary, the way that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader [...]

19. December 2009
Judas got 30 pieces of silver. Esau got a mess of pottage. Benedict Arnold offered to sell out his countrymen for cash. And now joining the long line of the imbecile pansy squishes is Big Ben Nelson. And for what did he sell his soul? Medicaid subsidies for Nebraska … all paid for by the [...]

2. December 2009
What follows is excerpted from a letter from Stephen E. Frazer, MD, an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis, to Sen. Bayh. Clearly Dr. Frazer has too much time or insomnia to have read the entire House Bill to “reform health care” in our country. I have not included Dr. Frazer’s pleas to the senator, which will, no [...]

11. November 2009
U.S. employers who tell workers to stay home when they are sick will have to give them paid time off for up to five days. This creates perverse incentives.

9. November 2009
I don’t see the MSM talking about it, but this was clearly the most important takeaway from the PelosiCare vote. Not only was it not bi-partisan, it wasn’t even close to unanimous within the Democratic Party. Divisive. Toxic. Political Suicide. Nearly 20% of House Democrats refused to stand with Pelosi and Obama. Or did Pelosi and Obama refuse to stand with [...]

30. October 2009
We’ve been having a lot of conversations with Small Business owners about how they will change their businesses if Congress passes their monstrous, prosperity-killing Health Care Bill. We are also small business owners and employees ourselves, and what is emerging from these conversations frightens us and should frighten all American workers. The consensus? “They can force us [...]

7. October 2009
These people are insane. Just. Insane: Some influential centrist Democrats in the Senate are warming to a compromise that envisions health-insurance plans run by state governments, and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger added his voice Tuesday to a small group of Republicans expressing support for a Democratic-led overhaul plan. Government-run health care schemes with most of the same [...]

If your Senators are serving on the Senate Finance Committee, they need to hear from you today! The Senate Finance Committee is expected to vote within 48 hours on its draft of ObamaCare.

21. August 2009
One way to provide universal health insurance coverage is to force people to buy it for themselves. Another way to get it is to force employers to pay for their employees’ coverage. Or, you could do both. That’s what Massachusetts tried and that’s what the federal government wants to do. Seems that Massachusetts would be a [...]

12. August 2009
Last week I attended a luncheon with some other small business people to hear the Arizona State Treasurer address Arizona’s private and public economic status. The Treasurer pulled no punches. The state legislature is deadlocked over the budget and barring either immediate spending cuts or an immediate tax increase the state is 30-60 days away [...]

24. July 2009
We have argued that* the current health care plan is bad for small business and our country’s economic recovery. Our future, especially our children’s financial future, in large part hinges on the defeat of the current proposal. There needs to be health reform, but not this, not socialized care that hurts the US economy. New [...]
