YES I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE ACA TODAY....with a customer.
a customer of mine who claims she has done extensive analysis for company's of less than 400 employees on the cost of the ACA.
She said it will cost these corporation around 350K to implement the ACA which will put many in a financial tailspin. So I asked her if those same company's have ever received a subsidy or significant tax break from the government. She said YES quite a few.
I asked her what would have happened if they didn't get the credits to start the business. OH most would have never got of the ground.
So I closed by saying they took subsidy's to help them out but the wont cooperate in something that will help their bottomline by reducing workplace illness and giving their employees a peace of mind. I said perhaps if a company can not get off the ground on their own they should not start a business to begin with. I said in most cases 350K is less than 1% of the total profit revenue.
BTW she lives in a 750K home... can you say selfish.
