Obama's massive health care proposal has far reaching implications, many of which we are now only beginning to learn about. One of the biggest areas of concern is the cost to businesses of every size. Higher government costs on business leads to several negative effects, including these businesses becoming less competitive (or leaving the US to avoid the costs), laying off employees to avoid certain regulatory thresholds or simply to remain competitive, and higher prices for consumers (since businesses will be forced to pass on the higher costs of doing business).

BS they ‘fear’ it. They sure were very queit about it before it passed.
The whole thing is crazy. My husband has a small business and he is going to have to lay off part timers to be able to comply. Or shut his doors.

This means companies. This means individuals.
