If you work for a company of 26 and get healthcare, someone's fired!

A little healthcare fun fact.

if you have a company with 25 or less employees, and the average income is less then $40,000 a year, you will get 35% of the cost of healthcare from government.

if you have 26 employees, you get nothing. That's right, not a god damn thing.

So, if the average life insurance policy cost $5000, a company of 26's least valuable employee better be worth an additional $43,750. Because that's what it cost to keep him. If you have 27, the two least better be worth an additional $21,875 each, or they are both gone.

Good stuff.

You're underestimating the effects.  If I ran a company of 35 people, that alone is a HUGE financial incentive for me to make 10 of those people contractors and not employees.
