losing money every year? The answer, of course, is yes. As a small business owner, you have a choice: pay for a group plan for your employees or pay a new payroll tax of 8%. The tax is based on the size of your payroll, not whether you're able to afford it.
Quote from HR3200:
(a) IN GENERAL.—A contribution is made in accordance with this section with respect to an employee if such contribution is equal to an amount equal to 8 percent of the average wages paid by the employer during the period of enrollment (determined by taking into account all employees of the employer and in such manner as the Commissioner provides, including rules providing for the appropriate aggregation of related employers). Any such contribution—
(1) shall be paid to the Health Choices Commissioner for deposit into the Health Insurance Exchange Trust Fund, and
(2) shall not be applied against the premium of the employee under the Exchange-participating health benefits plan in which the employee is enrolled"
("Contribution" is what they call the tax.)
