Every time I read this, I think we should open up Medicare/Medicaid for all businesses that have under 20 employees. You don;'t need HR, Don't need to hire anyone, just pay 1% of payroll, done. Maybe offer a better plan with no deductible or something, but keep it as simple as "Oh, you work for us now, here is health insurance." When those small businessmen hit their 21st employee and see how shit the system really is, they will start getting pissed and when the elected criters come by for campaign cash they will get an earful. This is exactly why the medical lobby dropped a half-a-freaking-billion on lobbying efforts to keep this out of the public discourse.
