Inc.com reports that the health care crisis may soon become an even greater issue for small businesses
“As the national debate over health care continues, many state governments like those in California and Arizona have stepped in to try and force some solutions for its uninsured population. As politicians debate topics like state-run universal coverage, small-business owners everywhere have tuned in to see how they might be affected.
“That’s why states like California, which has more than six million uninsured residents, are considering mandated health care programs. Members of California’s state assembly are currently debating the merits of its proposed Universal Health Act that would require Californians to obtain health care coverage similar to how motorists have to obtain auto insurance.”
And who would be responsible for making sure that people have this coverage? Employers of all sizes, of course, including even the smallest businesses. This approach would effectively shut down growth among small employers and force many to shed workers from their payroll.
