Few small business owners in the U.S. seem enthusiastic about the possible costs of a new healthcare law. But there may be some out there. The National Federation of Independent Business has assembled this predictably negative portrayal of healthcare costs. But how about it? Can we get a discussion started in the bizSugar community? Is Washington's belief that the law will actually make healthcare more affordable for small businesses realistic? If so, how much could very small businesses who currently provide no healthcare at all really afford and could the new law really bring costs down to that level? Meanwhile, will the law have an affect on businesses with fewer than 50 employees and how will it affect small businesses with more than that amount who may need to either supply benefits or face a penalty if their employees need to seek government subsidies? Let's hear from bizSugar members on the issue.
