The $2,000 penalty per employee ONLY applies to a) Large companies employing more than 100 full-time workers in their fiscal year; and b) who are not offering any company-sponsored group health care plan. So stop making it sound like every company in the country is going to suffer that penalty. It's fully disingenuous to imply that.
You and Pelosi need to gather around a fire with marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate and actually read the fucking bill. First off, the penaly/tax is $2500 not $2000. The threshold for businesses is 50, not 100 employees. Here's where your ignorance gets put up for full display...the penalty/tax is paid by individuals, not companies. Who fucking told you otherwise? Why did you believe them without reading the bill? As if that weren't enough....
Obamacare = healthcare = bullshit. All Obamacare does is legally require individuals to carry health insurance. That's it. If you don't, pay the government. Please note that there is nothing that says you are entitled to healthcare if you pay the penalty.
For the learning impaired: Obamacare promises revenue streams to medical insurance companies and the IRS without actually delivering healthcare to anyone.
