Obamacare Could Lead To 33% More New Businesses Over The Next Few Years

[Cigar]

Despite objections by businesses to parts of the Affordable Care Act, there could be as many as 33% more new small businesses over the next few years as a result of the law, reports the WSJ. The Kauffman-RAND Institute for Entrepreneurship Public Policy calculated the estimate.
Why the projected increase?

A major barrier that keeps people, especially those with pre-existing conditions, from starting their own business is the ability to get robust and affordable health insurance. People seek out and keep corporate jobs, not because they want to, but because they feel like they have to. Entrepreneurs call the phenomenon "entrepreneurship lock."

The Affordable Care Act could potentially solve that by offering people who start businesses coverage through state- or federally-run marketplaces for insurance (exchanges).

To see that full 33% increase in new businesses, coverage from exchanges would have to be equivalent to that from corporate plans, which is unlikely in the short run.

For young people, the idea of being unable to pay for massive medical bills seems distant and unlikely. But many older people have seen it in others or experienced it themselves, or have dependents that they have to worry about.

Without a significant savings cushion, a luxury many people don't have, leaving a safe corporate job with benefits just doesn't seem like an option.

Great business ideas aren't limited to the affluent or the young, and though it might take a while to play out, this looks like an unsung benefit of the new health care legislation.

That's great, since most businesses are currently going to a part-time basis and not offering insurance anymore. Of course, how long these small business can stay afloat with all the new taxes remains to be seen.

Not me ... I pay the most for the best talent I can afford, so if anyone chooses to pay the least for worst talent then that's their choice.

If I chose to go to a business model of part-time workers, I'd get exactly the type of talent who would except part-time work and exactly that type of productivity.

I happen chose different and I'm just guessing there's one or two like me.

But nice scare tactic if you're easily scared and know nothing about how business really operate.

... which only supports the probability that Obamacare will INCREASE healthcare costs because the legislation isn't anything about curbing costs and/or service utilization - it's about expanding gubmint control and influence.

And which is why costs will skyrocket and coverage will be greatly reduced. Get ready for expensive, high out-of-pocket/high deductible major medical only coverage, it's being jammed down your throat as we speak.

Neither do you. 77% payroll prints have been created for part-time employment for this year alone, as the average employee hours still hoovers around 34.5 hours.

We can all follow your business model, but instead of actually making money we would just be on an internet forum all day.

How about this ... if ObamaCares causes insurance cost to skyrocket ... and NO ONE can afford it, then it will be obvious that it's a failure ... correct?

If this is true ... Republicans will be Elected by an overwhelmingly majority and gain back the Presidency and both the House and Senate.

So why all the anxiety if everyone "knows" the outcome "today"?

Some things are more important that winning elections. Maybe someday you'll learn that.

Let's see ... if you knew just half of what you're talking about, that would make you what?

I'm on the internet approximately for as long as I want to ... enough for me to cover whatever I chose to cover, because I have it like that.

For the same reason you don't throw somebody off the bridge to see if they die.

Everybody knows what will happen. So why entertain the possibility?

You are the textbook definition of insanity.

Because winning elections is the only important thing to Republicans.
