![]() Sounds like a forecast, I have read 12 in most opinion pieces but see nothing that is written in the actual law yet. Though I am only on page 677 so far. As a small business owner whose employees make a decent wage all I have seen so far has not been pleasant.

Pretty simple: you keep providing insurance as you do now, and gain huge tax credits; or you do not have to provide insurance, and nothing changes for you. What part do you fear is "not pleasant"? What specifically are you talking about? Quote:

that's exactly what many will do. why wouldn't they? which is why the under a trillion cost the CBO sent to congress (the magic number) is dead wrong. which is why they've already had to adjust the price drastically upwards, and still probably isn't high enough! they're in denial about what businesses will do! if you want them to provide the coverage thru work, it must be worth the businesses while to do so!! that's just common sense.

Small companies with less than 25 employees do not pay a penalty and there is no requirement they offer insurance.

Are you saying that they are insured by you now, and you have a small business of less than 25 employees, but because their salaries are high, that is prohibiting you from getting tax credits? The point is that there is no negative affect upon you from Obamacare. Everything goes along for you as before. There is no change. You have no mandate to provide your employees with insurance due to your business size. However, if you would like to start offering insurance to your employees as a benefit, you will get business tax credits and the cost will be quite significantly lower for you. If they are insured privately now outside of work, nothing will change for them except the consumer protections preventing insurance company abuse. If they do not have insurance, they can purchase it for the first time at lesser cost on the exchanges.
