As both and owner and employee of my S-Corp, I must report the amount my company pays toward my health insurance and I must claim that amount as income (and pay tax on it). In effect, the law eliminates my ability to deduct my health insurance.RichmondG30https://www.blogger.com/profile/15406119391866964600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-51973659262918672412013-07-04T14:44:22.348-07:002013-07-04T14:44:22.348-07:00"Heck, we could make the employer financially..."Heck, we could make the employer financially responsible for the total welfare of each employee.

Small businesses will continue to eye the magic "50," keeping employee counts low, postponing expansion plans, and relying as much as possible on temporary or part-time employees. Many employers may simply decide to downsize. This is not good for business and it is not good for new job W.E.
