Johnny, what is listed after the section and page is what I call a "bumper sticker" version of what the bill states. I wanted to spare everyone all the legalise so I didn't c&p the entire section. Yes, it's my wording, but if you read it all it's what the bill states.

The bill is pretty clear that companies who self insure with private insurance are going to be hit with the payroll tax if they choose not to offer Uncle Sam's HC plan. It's utterly ridiculous that the government can strong-arm a small company by taxing them like that.

I know no one really has the time to read the entire plan, but there is some scary stuff in it. I hope that if the govenment HC plan is ever passed that it is nothing like the current proposal.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
