Sorry but if it looks like a tax and smells like a tax, and is paid to the IRS ...THEN IT IS A TAX. In my opinion I am not to pleased with how this reform is going. Why vote down the 72 hour waiting period that gives the American people enough time to see what is in this bill? It is because Nancy Pelosi and most Democrats have a lot to hide! .-= Jeremy´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.jclis.com/blog/2009/in-the-news/public-insurance-option-being-developed.html" rel="nofollow">Public Insurance Option Choices Being Developed</a> =-.

Running a small business is hard enough in these times, adding one more financial hurdle to them is a big mistake. Forcing people to comply is basically a tax.

Plus it takes that load off businesses completely. Americans seem to have a major distrust of their government though. I thought the health insurance reform was at least partly an attempt to bring the costs down - hope so. .-= annabelt @ Ebusiness Technology´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.ebusiness-technology.net/2009/employees/back-to-your-desks-peasants/" rel="nofollow">Back to your Desks, Peasants!</a> =-.
