I am mostly in agreement with you ..butttt the statement that struggling business should close down to make way for more profitable businesses is outrageous.Sometimes because of Government or illegal actions you are put in a situation where you become marginal ,and while you look for solutions its NOT someones decision to tell you you should shut down ..if that were the case NO business would survive .The Health care Mandates are an outrageous demand on a small companies resources .Being in a competitive business it not for someone else to tell you what you should do with your investment and hard earned money to just give up .That is just about the worst statement concerning business I’ve ever heard .Even large companies have events and situations change because of things beyond their control .Many recover because they rethink the situation and reinvest merge or do whatever to survive.If the Government wants universal coverage they should do it ! with universal taxes or simply print the money and let inflation be the cost to everybody .It simply dosent work for them to Mandate what small business should do.
Obviously you have not been in business ,you have NO idea what its like to compete with your own government working against you .You are being very Cavalier with other peoples lives ,money and hardships .All I can say is go start your own business and see.
Go tell China or India to shut down until they provide Universal HealthCare ..see what they say ! WE had Universal HealthCare until the Government Mandated HOW to do it. What we have is MIddle men in the HealthCare business like (Blue Cross ) syphoning off 30 cents of every dollar spent while providing no Medical Services at all.
It should be a requirement that every politician be Mandated to have the same plan and pay out of their own POCKET not from TAXPAYERS to get a reality check.
Employer paid plans need to STOP ,its anti US business it gives foreigners a big competive ADVANTAGE ! and lets GOVERENMENT off the HOOK for responsibilities .
Government is the PROBLEM>
