prevent him from dropping you and shuttling you off to the new government run health care plan?
Obama promised we could keep the health care provider we want, but what's to stop our employer from dropping you if they think the government run program is better for their bottom line?

Nothing. And actually businesses will be fined $3k per employee who is eligible for the government-subsidized insurance (through this exchange) and takes it over the employer's plan.
Way to destroy businesses Obama! I thought you were a fan of free enterprise. I guess actions speak louder than words, don't they?

The government is banking on your employer doing just that. You are, and will experience a new and well built, (by the Democratic Congressmen, and the Socialist, pro-abortion President, (that the free people of America put in office to save them)), Socialist Communistic progressive government. Ladies and Gentelmen, I believe its time for Americans to take off the wonderful life glasses and start getting a lot more concerned for their children and their elderly parents and then themselves.. Poverty will grow by leaps and bounds. Tell me I'm wrong on answers, 5 years from now as you stand in the food line, and can only see a government appointed doctor eight times a year with one hospital visit which the government will only pay a total of $8,000.00 for.

I own a small business, I don't have the over head for this as do a lot of small business. SO the answer is to higher people with a 1099 as a contractor. Innstead of a w-2 employeee. I will do this along with some other business owners I know.
I have even heard that some large corporations will do this.

Well Obama made a big stop at Cat in Peoria when trying to pass his stimuless telling how they would be calling back thousands of the people laid off, which was a lie ! The head of cat spoke right after him and said so ! Now cat has told them this will cause even more problems for them ! We are all going to be slaves to the govenment before it is done !

The same reason he doesn't drop you now. It isn't a requirement to offer health insurance to your employees. It is done to obtain good and loyal employees. That motivation would still exist, except now there is an incentive to offer coverage to your employees, and fines to those with more than 50 employees.
