saw this on my facebook feed (yes, sadly i still have facebook…)

“hmmmmm… Just learned some interesting information today in my insurance meeting. The national health care law will not only increase the costs of small businesses paying for their employees insurance but also for the individual employee themselves. Yep that seems about right; lets continue to hurt individuals working and help others that do not. Lets not harp on the fact that our national debt is increasing at an alarming rate each day. I want to thank every individual that voted for Obama and put him in office; job well done, job well done.”

i feel like this cannot be true due to the law itself, but something elsewhere would cause this to happen. Or they are just being flat out lied to.

You seem more well informed than the average tumblrer about the healthcare law, so i was hoping i could get some input from you. (plus i would love to put him in his place. petty, but damn it would feel good.)

You can point them to this fact sheet: http://www.healthcare.gov/news/factsheets/2011/08/small-business.html

Or this information directly from the IRS: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Affordable-Care-Act-Tax-Provisions

You can also tell them to stop talking out of their ass.
