$19,000,000,000.00
That is $19,000,000,000.00 that will be taken by the government, from small business owners, and given to those who have less. That is $19,000,000,000.00 that the small business owners will not have to pay employees and their health care benefits. That means that people who work them will get paid less and have to pay more for their health care package. Once more taking from those who produce and giving to those who do not.

Senate Dems OK to repeal small part of health law
(AP) – 50 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats don't plan to join the House in voting to repeal the massive new health care law, but they do want to eliminate a small portion of the law that is unrelated to health care.
Three Senate Democrats wrote House Speaker John Boehner Thursday, asking him to pass a bill repealing a new tax filing requirement for businesses. Starting in 2012, nearly 40 million U.S. businesses would have to file tax forms for every vendor that sells them more than $600 in goods.
The provision is expected to raise $19 billion over the next decade, to help pay for the health care law. Senators Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Maria Cantwell of Washington and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, said the Senate would act quickly if the House repeals the provision.

There is just a little bit more to the law than that JR. Why don't you go play with your website?
As far as I'm concerned there should be absolutely NO PROFIT whatsoever when it comes to people's health.
If that makes me a socialist, I don't really give a fuck.
I thought I'd be addicted to crack by now, go figure.
At a first glance, maybe, but when the goverment takes its slice - insurance taxes, taxes on healthcare companies, taxes on employees etcetera and creates a class of citizens that are employed in the administration of healthcare - these citizens vote for any administration that promises to keep them in work.
Make no mistake - any state mandated economy that creates a class of workers with a vested interest in keeping those in power in power is socialism.
The basic tenents of socialism are a state controlled economy and a single political ideology.
I give you the grease, but you must make your own wheels turn.
