Sure David. I have no problem with that, provided that my employer raises my wages the same amount that he currently pays for my health care now. It will never happen.

I wouldn’t think that splitting in to separate companies would be to difficult. It’s pretty common for building contractors to set up a new company for each project in case a project goes bankrupt. It’s sad that you’d have to needlessly break up a company to protect yourself from government. But your size company might very well be the size company the liberals wish to rid this country of.

Now it makes sense why there is an entire section devoted to 1099-MISC filing requirements by businesses to ALL PERSONS, with persons defined as individuals AND CORPORATIONS (and other business entities). They already figured that small business owners would simply look to split and pay across two corporations (ie. lease workers from one or other services from one to the other) and the new regulations on 1099-MISC make perfect sense now!!!

Employee leasing. You don’t employ anyone. You contract for all your employees.

It will be a great business for a while! You should consider setting up your own companies to do it.

Warren, avoiding that 4% is unpatriotic. Ask Joe Biden.

David Zetland- when you’re right, you’re right. And you are right about the best method to fix health cost inequality. It should also all – or none- be tax-deductible.

I started writing a comment about splitting up your company, but joshv beat me to it.

The old dictum of economies of scale no longer applies when socialists run the country.

Gadfly’s suggestion won’t work: Getting employees through outside agencies would add much more than the 4% hit the insurance fiasco will cause. The only time I’ve seen this work is when you fire costly union employees (such as janitors) and replace them with agency workers.
