I know nothing is definite yet, but this is what they want to do...
Medical businesses are also businesses and provide employment...if their income(reimbursement) shrink, taxes increase (they will have to provide health insurance or pay add. tax 8%), in addition to having to pay surtax on their income...if all these will not affect small businesses (and may result in paying people off), don't know what does...
Anyway ANY tax increase in a time like this is a bad idea, and everybody knows that...last person to pass tax increases in a recession was Hoover and it led to the depression...
