More Obama-this time, health care

I'm in a writing frenzy today! It usually takes me weeks to get worked up enough to write!

Lest the wingnuts drive us to think that healthcare is just fine in America, our small business is facing a 20% increase in premiums next year. Tuition went up 2%. You can do the math.

Our broker says that 20% is pretty good... one of our small school compatriots is seeing a 76% increase in their premiums.

Our faculty's average age did not change, nor did any of us have catastrophic illnesses.

My choices: increase the teacher's contribution, weaken the plan we offer, fire all the old teachers and replace them with young teachers.

And we're just one, small, business. Maybe that's why we get hit so hard, where are we going to go? Something needs to be done.
