More about Obamacare

A couple of recent surveys are showing that over 40% of Americans don’t know what happened in the Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare and/or don’t know what Obamacare does. So here’s another article that confirms Obamacare will reduce the deficit, that most of us won’t be paying any additional tax for it and also addresses the benefits to most small business owners.

If you’re a business with up to 25 employees, you’re also going to get a big tax credit to help with your employees’ health-care bill. After 2014, that credit will cover up to 50 percent of employer contributions.

It’s not a perfect bill. It can be improved over time and it has many benefits that will improve our health care security now, which benefits everyone in many ways. So you have to wonder why is the Republican party so dead set against Obamacare? Could it be this?
