In a White House Blog Post this morning, Obama’s Small Business Administrator, Karen Mills, claimed ObamaCare will benefit small businesses, America’s job creators:
But as a result of the Affordable Care Act, we are already putting in motion steps that will reform the health insurance system so it works for small businesses, rather than strap them with continually rising costs. One of the many ways the new law is helping small businesses is through tax credits starting this year.
The problem with Mills’ claim is that it is utterly false. In fact, ObamaCare will be bad for small business. Not only will it result in higher health care costs, but it will also burden small businesses with new, job-killing taxes and regulations. To add insult to injury, ObamaCare’s tax credit for small business may not be enough to help small business owners afford health insurance for their employees.
Just another example of Obama’s growing credibility gap.
