Why you should never read/listen to Fire Dog Lake- THEY LIE
Advertisements [?]
Can't put it any clearer than that. For example.

FDL Lie-

MYTH- 10. The bill will require big companies like WalMart to provide insurance for their employees

TRUTH- The bill was written so that most WalMart employees will qualify for subsidies, and taxpayers will pick up a large portion of the cost of their coverage.

The TRUTH-

Employer Mandate:

Technically, there is no employer mandate. Employers with more than 50 employees must provide health insurance or pay a fine of $2000 per worker each year if any worker receives federal subsidies to purchase health insurance. Fines applied to entire number of employees minus some allowances.

What makes their lies even worse is that they were under a blog post ironically entitled- "FDL Fact Sheet: The Truth About the Health Care Bill"
