Dumb Ron Johnson goes after small business health care coverage, trying to kill Obamacare.

Dumb Ron Johnson is no friend of small businesses. In fact, he’s their enemy, just like many Republicans have been for the last 30 years.

Johnson’s Senate Joint Res. 48 would allow small companies 50 and larger, to drop employees, letting them off the hook, and freeing them from contributing to health care. No $2000 per employee fine. Another words, companies would be rewarded for dropping their health care coverage completely, bankrupting the Affordable Care Act. That in turn will prove how right the Republicans were about "Obamacare," even though they’re the ones who caused the shortfalls. 

RoJo the Clown described his actual concern for the almighty dollar, over human life, this way:
Wisconsinreporter: With a $16 trillion debt and a lot of concern about the eventual costs of insuring tens of millions of uninsured, Johnson said the goal is to try to “prevent as many Americans as possible to getting addicted to the health care law.”
Hey folks, don’t get addicted to being healthy?
Rep. Ron Kind told Wisconsin Reporter, “I’ve never seen so many individuals in a major political party work so hard to make sure more people are left uninsured in this country than this modern-day Republican Party.”
One big factoid to remember: You might have  heard how small businesses with less than 50 employees will stop hiring people so they won’t have to pay a $2,000 fine? Big surprise, that's also not true:
Employers with 50 or more employees that do not offer health insurance coverage will pay an assessment of $2,000 per full-time worker if any of their employees obtain premium tax credits through the Health Insurance Exchange.

However, to avoid disincentives to hire an additional employee above 49 employees, the bill subtracts the first 30 employees from this payment calculation.
And how confusing is the new law for small businesses? Not very, check out the small business tax credit calculator. How hard was that?
