Good'day folks,
my name is Andrew Lawless and I am a 45 year-old British small business owner that currently resides in Rockville, Maryland. I agree with all the below stated points about Obamacare and really think that it's great that we are meeting ourselves on this online platform to discuss such an important issue. Coming from the United Kingdom Obamacare has not really been anything new for me. The health care system in the United Kingdom makes Obamacare look like German health care! All jokes aside, being an immigrant entrepreneur in the United States I do have some serious issues to raise about Obamacare. As Earl and George had already mentioned, he fluctuating insurance premiums are the real issue for small business owners. Then the insurance mandate forces me to buy Obamacare for each one of my workers. When the insurance premiums rise I and my business lose money. In order to compensate the losses often times I am forced to fire people from my pay-roll. As much as I hate doing this, sometimes its a necessary step to keep the business running. In the past three years it has just happened to often! I only employ about 40 people, imagine the effect of this on larger companies and their workers! People are losing jobs left and right Obamacare and businesses are becoming less efficient. With less workers in the workforce the country's economy also weakens. In a country such as the United States if America, which is based on capitalism and entrepreneurship, this should not happen. I believe the best alternative is to get rid of Obamacare and reimplement the Medicare system. I recon' (British slang for think) that Obamacare is a great idea, but the last thing I want to see is the United States become like England...or worse! Why do you think I left England for the US in the first place? Because the United States gave me more entrepreneurial freedom, and gave me the possibility to to give people the possibility to work for me. Obamacare is slowly taking that freedom away from me!

Thank you for you blog post, Mr. Lawless! In essence what Mr. Lawless is saying is that Obamacare's insurance mandate, which more or less forces entrepreneurs to supply their workers with Obamacare is the reason why he believes it should be repealed. In return the high insurance premiums create a domino effect. In order to compensate his losses Mr. Lawless, and thousands of other entrepreneurs in the US, then results to firing the necessary amount of his employment force in order for his business to stay efficient and profitable. These unemployed workers then raise the unemployment rate subsequently weakening the economy of the United States of America.
