re: #43 reuven

Obama has taken away a few of my freedoms as a small businessman. I was very disappointed in the health care reform bill, especially the LACK of a public option. Without a public option, it severely overburdens small business with new regulations. (Most small businesses actually welcomed the public option, and some single-payer high-risk pool. This way we’d only have to provide insurance or self-insurance for the gap…) I have to spend thousands a year on tax attorneys and accountants because of the complexity of it all.

Did you write your congressman during the Health Care Debates and demand the public option? Or were you hoping for the bill to fail altogether? If the former, then you have a right to be upset - a lot of us fought for the public option, and still hope to get it in future legislation. If the latter, then deal with it. 33,000,000 people will get affordable health insurance, and the rest of us will have to pay a little more. It’s the cost of living in this wonderful country.
