150% tax deductions! Now that's how to encourage businesses to offer health insurance...none of this "nationalize healthcare" nonsense.

Wait! Isn’t this the same governor’s office that, MS(Most Slanted)NBC says, Karl Rove schemed and cheated to get into Republican hands? And they’re actually accomplishing things? Imagine that!

Here's the NEXT headline we'll be seeing:

Health Insurance Rates for Small Business Rise 50%

The only people cheering will be insurance company executives, and their bought-and-paid-for RINO political TOOLS.

Group health plans spread risk. Thus, they nearly always cover
“preexisting” medical conditions without limitation. They also are documented in being able to lower employee turnover.

I understand purists who know that they are simply a type of compensation, like 401k’s etc. However, in the world of health insurance, there are many advantages to group purchasing.

The agent's commission alone on a “group” plan of just two employees drops from 20% for individual coverage, to just 7%.
However, even at a third of the commission, I would gladly write group plans all day since I don't have to put my clients through the lengthy, intrusive process of individual medical underwriting and its uncertainties. Insurance looks socialistic because groups and companies come together to "pool risk". However, it is simply the way that insurance works. Insurance means working with law of averages and "large numbers", by necessity.
