[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 349652, member: 1514"] It will cover mental health care. So that will be good. Tony will have to buy health insurance because he is either considered self employed or his employer is too small to be under this plan. I have a huge bone of contention with his employer and had hoped this bill would force his employer to have to actually own up to the fact that he "employs" these people. Sigh...guess not. For what its worth, I will say why I have this bone of contention. Employer...Mr X...is the Sub contractor. He carries the workmans comp, he gets the jobs, he tells ALL the men where the jobs are, when to be there and what time to meet at the store to catch the ride in the vans HE provides to the jobs. He even provides the larger tools such as Hilti guns, lasers and what not. Sure the guys have their own screwguns, hand tools and some have electrical chords but Mr X does have some of those too. Now Mr X, decides it is cheaper to pay these men on a 1099 because that way he doesnt have to do any payroll taxes! This is baloney. If they were true Subs, they would be deciding when to do the jobs, they would be finding the work themselves and be providing all their own tools. They would also be providing their own workmens comp. They arent subs...they are employees. Heck...he also charges them a fee to ride the van each day plus I know for a fact he takes mileage and depreciation on his taxes! Meanwhile, the "employees" have to pay their own taxes at the same base pay as if they worked for a regular employer but they pay more in the end because they are paying the full amount of SS tax. Plus they get no Unemployment taxes paid in. Can you tell it irks me? LOL. Its also the only way anyone does business around here! [/QUOTE]
