Now, now, now...... You know as well as I that any rule they make and any hurdle they put up on the front end, they also make rules and take down hurdles on the back end so that things only appear different yet remain the same.
The goal of most politicians is to do nothing yet appear to be doing everything. It's all noise and fluff and in the end we'll just be filling out a form with a different number yet the information required will be identical to the 1099. My wife agrees with me and she is always right.

The "subcontractor" status is mostly going to go away. This will mean that if someone runs his own business, but only works for you, bye bye status... and that includes workman's comp, unemployment, withholdings, etc. Heaven only knows if this is in whatever abomination is finally produced, but the intent is definitely to pretty much end this kind of stuff. One of the ways that was in one of the bills, was to force all individuals who work under that status to buy insurance. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Robert West" <robert.w...@just-micro.com> Sent: Saturday, December 05, 2009 5:15 PM To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] health insurance > Hmmmmmmmmmmmm......
