Reply #126: I work at a small (very small) company.

I don't need to imagine. But then I also followed what they were ACTUALLY discussing a lot more than most.

Health care is a great debate with many good and many bad ideas. I don't think it was ever depressing things as much as you think but I could be wrong. If it was I would say it was only because of so many media hyped lies. The plan was never going to decimate small companies. Neither side was for that. An increase in taxes for the super wealthy would barely register on the radar of small companies, their employees having basic health care without it coming out of the companies pocket would be a huge leveler against larger companies that can offer it as an employment incentive.
And the idea of putting minimums on % that goes to care? Or fixing pre-existing condition problems? That doesn't kill small companies. At worst it is neutral.

It sounds like you think we have some problems with our health coverage in this country. And you even think we should fix them. Discussing the details of things like that is what this board IS about. Most here think everyone should have some basic coverage. I agree. You may disagree. IMO the discussion is an important one. Sorry if it spoils things for some people who scare to easily at what is said of Fox news. We MUST have the discussion as a country.
