A few Thoughts on Heath Care Reform

Health Care Reform – Some thoughts • EffortlessHR Blog

What’s a small company to do if required to offer health insurance? This is a question many small business owners are facing. The federal government is gearing up to tell the American business owner:
  • When or how to form a union
  • When to provide paid sick leave
  • When to provide paid family medical leave and
  • When to provide health care benefits

All of these issues are important – not only to the business owner but to the employees that they hire. There are really three perspectives that we need to look at:

  1. The HR Perspective
  2. The Business Perspective
  3. The Government Perspective

Note: My friend owns a small business and finally after 8 years he will have his $80k/year note paid off. He has been drawing a very meager salary over that time and was looking forward to his hard work finally paying off. Now, with Obamacare looking more like a reality, he has calculated the cost to be $80k/year. Result: no net gain after busting his butt for 8 years! He will most likely shut down his company and look for a salaried job.
