You're naive enough to think that someone's going to write "Didn't hire because he's a disabled vet" somewhere? Seriously? I know you're insane, but not generally stupid.
You also completely missed the point. I know all of that. I said it would make employers not want to hire them as much, not that they wouldn't hire them (for exactly the reasons you outlined). It would make the employer painfully aware that he's bearing a higher load for health care costs than he would otherwise though. Which in turn, will make those employers more receptive to the idea of socialized medical care, especially small business owners, who I'm sure will be the focus of Obama's health care agenda.
Ludicrous. Small business are already on board. Small businesses can't afford to self insure, they're forced to pay much much higher premiums per employee than large businesses, and generally their employees end up paying more as a result.
The small business argument against nationalized health care is from those that simply don't offer health care benefits *at all* to most employees. Explain to me how this hurts them.
The losers in this are *self insured* large businesses, that without getting into the complexities of the law, act as *their own* pool of capitol for claims and premiums. They pay a small fee to an administrator, say BCBS or CIGNA for networks and cards and the like, and possibly purchase a stop loss premium for $500,000+ catastrophic claims, but mostly just collect money from employees, pay claims with it and if they have a positive balance at the end of the enrollment period, they keep it. They're fucked here, because these are just more claims for them, although to be honest, even the impact there on a 10,000 employee company from this is likely marginal. They have an argument, though. This is just added cost for them. Joe and Bob's Appliance Repair was just purchasing premiums outright before, they'll do the same after. The cost of their premiums has virtually nothing to do with their individual employees.
