Brain Teaser for Small Business Owners, Japanese Women Live Longest, and Planned Home Births Increase Risks for Baby
Small Business Health Insurance Tax Credit eligibility flow chart. If you can figure this out, you deserve a tax break.
Japanese women are expected to live longer than anyone else. But before you start doing everything Japanese, note that men live the longest in Qatar.
1% of babies are born at home. The risks are higher.
Here’s predicting that very few small businesses are going to get the tax credit.
Larry, my prediction is that a free spread sheet or web site will appear that will make the determination trivial.
Larry, I think you are spot on. I believe I saw a poll over the weekend showing that one in five employers are considering dropping their coverage entirely.

The worst thing about the small business health care tax credit is that it makes the cost of hiring additional employees very high. So in encouraging employers to provide health insurance, the law at the same time discourages employment.
Question 4 on the small business tax credit asks if the business pays at least 50% of employees’ premiums including, among other things, long-term care and home health care community-based care.

Thanks john, I almost forgot. Babies belong to the state, right? Not to the parents.
Ken, babies aren’t the property of their parents either. That’s why every jurisdiction has a Department of Child Protective Services. Even Texas!
artk makes a good point. Parents do not actually own their children. But they have custodial rights and are assumed to be better protectors of the children’s interest than bureaucrats — even doctor bureaucrats.
