He can do it. I have worked for far smaller companies and they had insurance for the employees.

He's the only one they want to interview because he is opposed to it. They couldn't find anyone else to ask

It's pretty obvious that our media is corrupt, and they think the American citizens don't see it and don't care.

It looks like they've got twice as many "small businessmen" to talk to now.

I've been running a one-man (now two-person) shop for 15 years. It amazes me to see the size of some of these so-called small businesses.

then the employees go into the insurance exchange and shop for their own with others in the same pool as they are and end up paying about what they would have had to give in wages/salary for the company health care plan - AND - they have many more options from with to pick coverage that more clearly provides for their needs than that which their employer might have provided. - AND - If they can't afford it, and meet the criteria, they can get help with the premium from the PP & ACA, otherwise known as ObamaCARE.

Right?

might have paid for group insurance - or - at least a portion of whatever he would have paid in wages/salaries to those employees he now threatens to lay-off in order to avoid the 50-employee criteria for the requirement to provide insurance . . . ?

Not sure I understand how this works.

out to his executives and for himself, so count that amongst his costs of not providing hc ins for his employees too.

they would plant a story in a newspaper and use another to quote that original story and so on & so on....pretty soon the inaccuate story was take as gospel.

They now cross post & broadcast from any one of the various parts of the media (porpaganda) empire.

what's the issue? And if he is already offering it, then what is his problem???

Because of the Family Leave Act. There might be some other laws too, but this was the big reason that the owner of the company where I formally worked did not want to hire a fiftieth employee unless he actually needed 60 employees. With that attitude, businesses like his never become as profitable as they could because they are not willing to act like big companies.

of business groups like the Chamber of Commerce who were making the claim how Obama was hurting small business to provide a group of small business people to talk to. They claim there are tens of thousands who will be on the brink of failure if Obama stays in office for 4 more years but they couldn't supply even one to talk to NPR. So NPR started just asking in a random fashion, still no takers, they then asked for people to email and got only a very few, who really couldn't explain why it was Obama and not the general economy which tanked during the Bush administration.

It's a super wealthy, affluent small town with Victorian mansions everywhere. My public school had two people of color in it and the rest were white.

Yeah, I think they probably could have found maybe just a few more small businesses out there somewhere.
