You did give the facts but you act like this is good for small business. As a small business owner, any credits we receive are paid for by hard working americans like ourselves. My income tax rate will increase to pay for this mess. I don’t want credits or anything from the govt. We need to remember that the govt. is us, all of us who pay taxes; which by the way is only 50% of this country. The 50% who don’t pay taxes voted for the socialists running this country. I grieve for my grandbabies who will be paying for this mess. This bill is insurance reform, not health care reform. Only when we address the real issues will we have cost reduction on our health care. Only then will our premiums be reduced.

Good point Thomas. Let’s hope when this reaches the Supreme Court they will follow the constitution and rule against
this intrusion. Then maybe a truly bipartisan bill can be passed when we have a new President.

I’ve lived in some of those countries and consumed their health care services, but that is besides the point- I come to this site to get information on accounting systems and practices not a political lecture from people with an axe to grind. You and others like you who use this forum as apolitical soapbox have made it impossible to get the info I came here to get and by the number of posts by you I wonder how many billable hours you waste complaining about things that have not happened yet. Again I’m here to work I would appreciate it if you would get out of my way.

You forgot to remind small business owners that there are 18 states challenging the constitutionality of the Obama health law.
If the Roberts court decides the new law is a radical shift of authority from the states to the federal government and rules against Obama’s interference in states rights, the entire discussion is moot.

Hopefully this will get defunded and/or repealed and we won’t have to deal with any of it.
A much simplier syster would do the it.

In what year will we need to begin reporting the value of the employee’s health care plan on W-2 forms? Are we reporting the employer’s portion, employee’s portion or both?

I would hate to see HSA’s ousted. It has been the one healthcare reform that has actually encouraged the consumers to be accountable for how their healthcare dollars are spent. That is the type of reform needed. Forcing health insurance upon employers will only decrease the incentive for business growth and accomplishment.

Hey Michael – again want to remind readers that QuickBooks Online is passionate about helping small businesses set themselves up for success. Part of that that is helping you stay on top of the current reforms and laws that may affect you. Michael, apologies if you took the post to be something more.

I am unhappy with QB for being involved in promoting Obamacare. Whatever your your opinion this is not the forum to express it. QB should spend its time improving its program not trying to change hearts and minds

when politics, and government starts to control everything then everthing then becomes political
