Clippertoday.com: BOUNTIFUL - Tom Hori is “hopeful” Congress can come up with a health care plan which will allow small business owners like him the ability to continue to provide insurance to employees despite rising health care costs.

Hori is owner of Redcon Inc., a Bountiful business specializing in land surveying and global information systems, as well as technical support for computers.

He currently has 15 employees, and is still able to provide health insurance, although he said a large claim among those on his company’s insurance causes the already “unbelievably high” premiums to increase even more. To compensate, he’s had to increase insurance deductibles, but he doesn’t know how much longer he can continue that cycle.

Small Business Imperiled By Health Care Costs

Thomas R. Hardin
July 22, 2009
You better hope that the "Congress" doesn't pass ObamaCare. If it does, nobody will have to worry about getting healthcare. IT WILL BE RATIONED just like it is in all the other coutries where socialized medicine is the norm. If you believe anyone will be able to keep their health insurance, you'd better read the bill that the Congress has had before them. Not only that, but this bill will have us paying taxes on employer-sponsored health insurance. And there's lot of other stuff in this bill that evidently the Congresspersons don't even know about. But that's not surprising. They vote on stuff all the time not knowing what's in the legislation.
