WSJ | Small Business and ObamaCare
One of President Obama's proudest boasts about the Affordable Care Act is that it helps small business. The White House website says the health law "makes it easier for businesses to find better coverage options" and "stops insurance companies from taking advantage of you, giving the consumer and business owner more control and making health-care coverage more affordable." Small businesses aren't buying it.
Washington Times | The Obamacare asterisk
About 40,000 customers are said by the government to have signed up for Obamacare in the 36 states that depend on the federal government’s online site for signing up for health insurance. That’s not much more than a thousand per state in the first six weeks. It’s less than one customer for each of the 50,000 Obamacare “navigators” who were hired to persuade consumers to share President Obama’s signature achievement, and how to do it.
