The OTHER Stimulus Package
How many times has someone said to you, "I would love to [retire, switch jobs, start my own business, etc., etc.], but I have to keep my health insurance"? I hear this statement every six months or so.
My fearless forecast: Once the health insurance reform plan is enacted, the next 18 months to two years will see a breaking up of many of those glaciers. Once people realize they can take financial risks without running the ultimate risk (losing insurance, bankrupting their family with medical bills), we will see an eruption of entrepreneurial activity, retirement pursuits, and people pursuing various long-delayed dreams.
All you young people who have been waiting for the old folks to move on so you could have a crack at the job world, take heart. Health insurance reform is going to have the unexpected consequence of giving you that opportunity.

Will that mean I as an employer I won't have to spend $50,000 a year for health insurance? I can hardly wait. Free at last, I'm free at last. Thank you Jesus!!!Or should I say Obama!
Spoken like a true misty eyed Dem .
Great fluff piece Reggie
I am all ready to start my new side business come spring. I'm sure I'll need the money to pay my higher premiums since I'm not union and can't force my boss to pay me more.
