Small Businesses Plan to Add Health Coverage For First Time in a Decade
Source: Mother Jones
Sean Vitka directs my attention to page 26 of a new survey from NFIB, the National Federation of Independent Business. They asked their members if they planned to add health insurance next year, and it turns out that there's going to be a net increase. Of those who currently offer insurance, 7 percent plan to drop it. Of those who don't currently offer insurance, 13 percent plan to add it. That's good news, and the report notes that "If small employers follow those plans, the net proportion of them offering would rise, breaking a decade-old trend." Thanks, Obamacare!

(45,255 posts)oh wait, must be free market forces. The private sector is being efficient again. These businesses are doing this in spite of Obamacare since everyone knows its actually a jobs killer.
which how goes most conversations with conservatives. They blame the economy crash on Obama, but the recovery is just normal economic cycles and American business ingenuity. assholes
I am certainly glad that more people are getting health coverage. The way we will finally get single payer in this country is to promote how its good for business.
