Small Business Majority releases irrefutable healthcare reform report
The non-profit and non-partisan Small Business Majority, representing 27 million small businesses in the US, released a new report today outlining the need for significant healthcare reform .
With all the talk of healthcare rationing (we already do this) and the perils of "socialized medicine" how is it we ignore the dire situation of small businesses? Small businesses are left in the cross hairs of rising costs brought on by the uninsured and arbitrary increases in healthcare costs.
Currently 60% of Americans (and/or their families) are insured through their employer. What happens when one loses their job? Sure we have Cobra, but even that benefit will run out (and it is expensive for all involved). There is no portability with healthcare, and given the costs people are not able to afford a private policy (let alone qualify for one). Thus, when a health crisis surfaces, that individual draws on the system thereby raising rates for others and on small businesses. It's a never ending circular relationship. Businesses, unable to keep up with the cost of healthcare benefits, lay off employees. Displaced workers go without healthcare, and businesses then absorb the cost of care further weakening their position to hire and retain employees.
No system is perfect, however our current system is a failure. No matter the alternative, no current proposal is worse than what we have now. One such proposal is offering a public option that would run alongside privately held policies. Of course this is the ultimate healthcare conundrum for market-based republicans. How can they oppose a competitive order that includes the "alleged" superiority of a private market-driven policy. Surely, when offered a public and private option people will chose the private route. The GOP talking point has always been that government is incapable of creating the same efficiencies as private industry. So lets have it out - right.
Well, the GOP seems to be changing their tune. Projections estimate that folks will quickly migrate to the public option thereby decreasing policies within the private insurance industry. The argument is that this will increase costs for those carrying the "superior" private insurance.
Well, first, since their care is allegedly superior, it should cost more right? But more importantly, the GOP is incapable to consider the effect on price when everyone is covered. Healthcare costs will decrease when the uninsured are suddenly covered.
Doctors, who under the current plan are not always compensated for their work, will have stgronger assurances of payment through universal coverage. Hence pricing standardization will have a solid platform by which to function.
Watch this GOP hack argue that migration to a public option is bad:
And don't forget that Senator Grassley enjoys all the wonderful benefits of a government run congressional healthcare plan. I wonder who butters his bread (insert medical products company/big Pharm/insurance).
Up to 80% of small business owners believe health reform is needed.
76% cite lack of affordability as the biggest reason for not offering healthcare.
70% support government-managed purchasing pools.
Two thirds of respondents support a financing system of shared responsibility among businesses, individuals, government and the healthcare industry.
Between 50% and 80% of small business owners in various states supported the idea of employers paying into a system that would provide health coverage for their employees, though views varied on the specific amount businesses should pay.
