Construction Equipment Extended Warranty:

A Potential Safe Haven from the High Costs of ObamaCare

In 2009, the nation saw a radical change in our healthcare policy when President Obama’s Affordable Care Act, ObamaCare, made its way through the Democrat-controlled Congress and then upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States making it a constitutionally sound law. It promised to make health insurance more affordable to millions of previously under-insured and uninsured individuals over the span of a decade.

At a conference with small business owners, many being of the construction equipment industry, four years ago in Chicago, Mr. President promised that ObamaCare would be written in the interests of Americans like us [small business owners] and our employees. He said that his plan would lower premiums through insurance exchanges that would ultimately offer groups of businesses bargaining powers while having insurers compete over them. Sounds a little too good to be true?

As we start to gear up for the effects of the Obamacare mandates, many dealerships are starting to worry. And they have a right to. All over the country, construction equipment dealerships health care premiums are projected to rise by as much as 13-23% in one year’s time. With health care costs already a major expense for dealerships, a rise in premiums will inevitably eat away at the bottom line of each dealership. On top of that, if you are an dealership with over 50 employees, you will be mandated to provide health insurance coverage which will easily eat away at your already shrinking budget.

So What is Going to Happen?

According to a recent Chamber of Commerce survey, 71% of small business owners say that ObamaCare will make it harder to grow their businesses. And because of it, more businesses will be cutting hours and/or decreasing the number of full-time employees and increasing the number of part-time employees. This could be the end to the 40-hour work week that has always been the backbone of the American middle class.

One way to help protect your dealership from the rising costs associated with the implementation of ObamaCare is to decrease your accrued expenses elsewhere.
