As a business owner that operates outside the US, I have to wonder what affect a law requiring employers to provide health insurance policies to employees, would do to current unemployment figures?

I also wonder why when you hire someone you are supposed to provide them with health insurance?

Why not life insurance?

After all, if they die they can’t come to work.

Why not auto insurance?

They have to drive to get to work.

As laws in the US become harder on business owners those business owners will have to look at outsourcing more work. Obama’s answer to this is to create laws that prevent companies with-in the US from outsource.

This means companies will have to increase their prices and pass it on to the consumer. Either way the consumer loses.
