Conservatives often warn that Obamacare will hurt small business. But they forget that the small-business owner needs healthcare, too!
Before Obamacare and its tax credits for small business, many small businesses with only a few employees could not afford to buy health insurance.
But what about businesses still in the go/no-go stage? Indeed, the prospect of losing one's health insurance keeps would-be entrepreneurs -- especially those with families, or who would like to have children -- locked into corporate jobs instead of taking the risk to start up a new business.
(Meanwhile, FOX Business's answer to health costs is barter.)
As I've noted before, guaranteed, affordable health coverage for every American will take some of the personal fear and financial risk out of starting up a new business venture.
