Imagine that every small business under 50 employees had to obey one set of rules. Then one group has to burden a greater cost while living under a separate rulebook. This is what the United States Senate has done to small builders with 5 or more employees.
In every other small business in America health insurance will have to be provided once you have hit 50 employees, but construction companies will have to provide have to provide health insurance once they hit 5 employees.
Must be because the construction industry is so healthy these days.
Here is the email the National Association of Home Builders has put out.
In order to find the 60 votes needed to pass health care reform, a provision was slipped into the health care bill that unfairly targets small construction industry firms by mandating that they provide health insurance if they employ more than five workers. That is the same mandate required for big businesses. Meanwhile, all other small businesses – with the exception of the construction industry — would be exempt from providing mandatory health coverage if they employ 50 workers or less.
