[quote=La Jolla Renter]As a small business owner, I disagree that reforming the medical monopolies will reduce economic activity. If I can reduce health care and insurance costs, I can hire more people and put the savings into growing my business vs taking cost cutting action that may actually cut a job or 2.
Small business got fvcked by the Obama Administration.[/quote]
It will be a good thing in the longer term but talking about 1 or 2 years when it initially happens will result in a technical recession. Spending on medical care is included in GDP. It will take a bit of time for businesses to make changes due to the reduced cost and will take awhile to show up in GDP.
