marraphy: whyyoustabbedme: I wish Bernie pushed this economic angle more. The benefit to small businesses would be dramatic and I think that would resonate with a lot of blue collar voters in particular. But really tho - universal healthcare DOES actually help small businesses grow. One of the reasons I’d be hesitant to work full time at my indie studio (a small start-up) and quit my corporate job is that I’d lose the corporate health care and a startup can’t offer it. If small businesses didn’t have the HUGE detriment of ‘well uh you won’t have health care if you work for us!’ I’m sure they’d be able to get a lot more employees since it wouldn’t be such a risk to work there -- source link
