bizjournals: Bush vs. Kerry: Election '04

afukakuja.wordpress.com
Years of 20 percent-plus premiumj hikes have made it unaffordable for a growing numbefrof them, and insurers plan another double-digit increase next year. "I hate healtyh care," says Rochelle Balch, owner of RB Balch & a 10-employee computer serviced firmin Glendale, Ariz. "I hate it. I hate it. It's a majoer ripoff for small businesses." Both President Bush and John Kerry want to help smalk businesseslike Balch's insure their Bush would make health care more affordable by allowinf small businesses to pool their resources and buy coveragwe from national trade associations. Associationn health plans would be exempt from state coverage mandates.
Bush also would expanf health savingsaccounts -- tax-frede accounts to pay for medical expenses for anyone with high-deductible health insurance. Employers can contribute to theses accountsas well, and many businesses have incorporated HSAs into thei r health plans. HSAs "are awesome," says Frani Ciotola, owner of DaVinci Ristorantse in Columbus, Ohio. They help businesses save monegyon insurance, he says, and encourags people to make better decisions because they get to keep any moneyt they don't spend. Bush proposes giving smallo business owners a tax credit for contributions totheirr employees' HSAs.
The government would contributed $300 to the HSAs of low-incom Americans and give them a $700 income tax credit. Kerry'e plan is more extensive -- and He plans to pay for it primarily by rollingback Bush'sd income tax cut for individuals who earn more than $200,000. Unde Kerry's plan, small businesses would be eligible to buy healthb insurance from the same plan that covers members of Small businesses also could take a 50 percent tax crediyt for the cost of health insurance they provideto low- and moderate-incomd workers.
Kerry also calls for the federalp government to pick up 75 percent of the tab whena worker'd health expenses exceed $50,000 a This catastrophic coverage would cut health premiums by up to $1,00 0 a year for a family, he says. Balchn is willing to trade a tax hike for the wealthyu for health care help for small She says: "There's more of us that aren'tf rich than are."

http://www.internationalwebdirectory.com/user_detail.php?u=pelibleappy
Penn National spent $336 million on the Hollywood which canaccommodate 9,000 more than double the capacityh of the Argosy Casino it The Indiana Gaming Commission gave Penn National permission to conduct a “sofgt opening,” starting at 2 p.m. Thursday. “Within 15 there were 800 people throughythe turnstiles,” said Tony Rodio, Hollywoodf general manager. “Shock and awe is the best way todescribe peoples’ reaction when they see it for the first I couldn’t be Rodio said the casino used an automated phones system to notify 100,000 customerzs of the soft opening at 9 a.m. today. News of the earlty opening “spread like wildfire.
” The casino’ grand opening celebration is plannedfor Monday. In Columbusd meantime, the Ohio Jobs and Growth Committee submittedr petitionswith 850,000 signaturexs for a constitutional amendment that would legalize casinos at four Ohio including Broadway Commons near downtown Cincinnati. Backerd of the plan include Penn Nationalo andDan Gilbert, majority owner of the NBA’ds Cleveland Cavaliers and founder of Quickenb Loans. The number of signaturexs is about double the amount required to get the measurd onthe ballot. The filint comes as Ohio lawmakers discuss new legislatiob to enable slot parlors at Ohiohorser tracks. Ohio Gov.
Ted Strickland endorsed the idea as a way of closinyga $3.2 billion budget gap. Strickland has estimateed thatallowing video-lottery terminals at seveb Ohio race tracks would generate $933 millionj in new revenue for the state in 2010 and 2011. But statr lawmakers are split on whether new legislation is requiresd for the slots proposalk or whether the governor can use his executive authorithy to allow the Ohio Lottery Commissionh to roll out slots the way it rolled out Keno gamelast year. A spokesman for the Ohio Jobs and Growthh Committee said the group will recalculate its revenud estimates after details of the slot proposalare finalized.
Its current estimates are that the new casinows wouldgenerate $651 million in annual casino-tax revenue for the statre for the first full year of casino operationx (2013). Tax revenue estimates rise to $771 milliojn by the fifth yearof operation. How those numbers would change if seveb slots parlors opened in Ohio would dependc on a varietyof factors. “Nobody’s quite sure what the proposalk is,” said Bob Tenenbaum, a senior counselor with the Milenthal “Without knowing the details, there’s just no way to do that
