They range from taxing businesses that have a minimum of 100 employees all the way up to businesses that have a minimum of 10,000 employees. <BR/><BR/>So many of those details will probably be set by congress and/or your state.<BR/><BR/>http://www.ncsl.org/programs/health/payorplay2006.htmNataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828961897228801271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3788206431174763.post-48860914230561110612008-10-30T10:01:00.000-04:002008-10-30T10:01:00.000-04:00Can you clarify something?

I thought that it was the latter, based upon one of the debates.Hands-Free Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297140309003225719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3788206431174763.post-55434549564600854642008-10-30T09:41:00.000-04:002008-10-30T09:41:00.000-04:00The universal health care plan is a big concern fo...The universal health care plan is a big concern for me. My husband works for a health insurance company and many do not realize how much the federal government has their hands in this mess already. Much is blamed on the insurance companies but the government has a large say in their business. If it is not working now with the governments help I don't see how a universal plan run by government would work at all.<BR/><BR/>I also don't agree with making it mandatory that all employees have to provide health insurance. Small businesses across the country might fold under that kind of financial burden.Livin' Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11446508670489655747noreply@blogger.com
